Safety and Clinical Outcomes after Transverse Venous Sinus Stenting for Treatment of Refractory Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Single Center Experience.
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a syndrome of elevated intracranial pressure of unknown etiology. Unilateral or bilateral transverse sinus (TS) or transverse-sigmoid junction stenosis is present in about 30%-93% of these patients. There is an ongoing debate on whether venous sinus stenosis is the cause of IIH or a result of it. The subset of IIH patients who continue to have clinical deterioration despite maximum medical therapy is termed as "refractory IIH." Traditionally, cerebrospinal fluid diversion surgeries (ventriculoperitoneal shunt and lumboperitoneal shunt) and optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) were the mainstays of treatment for refractory IIH. In the last decade, venous sinus stenting (VSS) has emerged as a safe and effective option for treating refractory IIH patients with venous sinus stenosis. Through this study, we want to share our experience with venous stenting in refractory IIH patients with venous sinus stenosis associated with a significant pressure gradient (≥10 mm Hg).
methodsRetrospective chart review of all the patients diagnosed with refractory IIH who underwent VSS or angioplasty at our comprehensive stroke center from November 2016 to March 2019.
resultsA total of seven refractory IIH patients underwent VSS or angioplasty within the specified period. The mean age was 39 years. Eighty-five percent of the patients were women (
conclusionTS stenting ± angioplasty is a safe and effective means of treating refractory IIH with venous sinus stenosis associated with a significant pressure gradient (≥10 mm Hg).
