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

purposePseudotumor cerebri is a debilitating condition that causes severe headaches and progressive visual field loss. In this report, we present a patient with Class III obesity, with pseudotumor cerebri who failed medical management and attempted weight loss via diet and exercise. OBSERVATIONS: After undergoing bariatric surgery, the patient had significant weight loss and improvement of visual field defects. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: These results suggest that bariatric surgery may be an effective option for patients with rapidly progressing visual loss due to pseudotumor cerebri.
