Diffusion tensor imaging of the optic disc in idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

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.
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
purposeTo study optic disc in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with diffusion tensor imaging.
methodsProspective study was carried out on 31 consecutive patients with IIH and 17 age and sex-matched controls that underwent diffusion tensor imaging of optic nerve. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) of optic disc were measured by two readers. Grades of papilledema and visual field defects were evaluated by ophthalmologist.
resultsFA of optic disc was significantly lower in IIH than controls (p = 0.001) with excellent inter-observer agreement (K = 0.93) of both readers. The cutoff FA used to differentiating IIH from controls were 0.28 and 0.29 with area under curve (AUC) of 0.921 and 0.914, accuracy 92% and 91%, and sensitivity 97% and 96%. MD of optic disc were significantly higher in IIH than in controls (p = 0.001) with excellent inter-observer agreement (K = 0.91) of both readers. The cutoff MD used to differentiating IIH from controls was 1.51 and 1.22 × 10
conclusionDiffusion tensor imaging parameters of optic disc are non-invasive reliable imaging parameters that can be used for diagnosis of IIH and well correlated with papilledema and visual field defects.
