1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPrimary idiopathic intracranial hypertension (PIIH) in children is rare and has a poorly understood pathophysiology. It is characterized by raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in the absence of an identified brain lesion. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by the measurement of a high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure and exclusion of secondary causes of intracranial hypertension. Refractory PIIH may lead to severe visual impairment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a cranial morcellation decompression (CMD) technique as a new surgical alternative to stabilize intracranial pressure in PIIH. MATERIALS AND

methodsA literature review was carried out, disclosing only 7 pediatric cases of PIIH treated with surgical skull expansion. In addition, we describe here one case of our own experience treated by CMD.

conclusionsCMD surgery is a safe and effective option to control refractory PIIH in selected patients.
