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

objectivesIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure of unknown etiology and venous sinus stenting may be an optional treatment. We aimed to evaluate the effects of venous sinus stenting on visual function, intracranial pressure, and trans-stenotic pressure gradient of the patients with IIH and to determine effects of baseline BMI or weight changes on subjective vision outcome and intracranial pressure.

methodsFrom July 2009 to Aug 2016, 88 eligible patients with IIH and venous sinus stenosis who underwent stenting were retrospectively studied.

resultsIn this study, 67 women and 21 men were included with an average age of 39.01 (18-60) years. The average BMI was 26.75 kg/m

conclusionsVenous sinus stenting represented an effective treatment for resolving visual dysfunction and intracranial pressure associated with venous sinus stenosis. BMI seemed to be associated with intracranial pressure but not subjective visual outcomes after stenting.
