A Review of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewSpontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an underdiagnosed phenomenon predominantly presenting with low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and postural headache in setting of CSF leak. The goal of this paper is to provide updates on the pathology, diagnosis, and management of SIH. The utility of multiple imaging modalities and the use of epidural blood patches and fibrin glue polymers are explored. RECENT
findingsIn regard to diagnosis, new non-invasive modalities in detection of SIH including transorbital ultrasound and serum biomarkers are found. In addition, increased efficacy of large volume and repeated placement of multiple epidural blood patches (EBP) are seen. In addition, the management of refractory SIH using fibrin glue polymers has proved efficacious in recent case series. While the diagnosis may be challenging for clinicians, future research in SIH is leading to more rapid detection methods. Future studies may target optimal use of EBP in comparison to fibrin glue polymers, in addition to new developments in increased understanding of SIH physiology and phenotype.
