Fulminant Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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 reviewThe goal of this review is to describe the presenting features of fulminant idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and outline the multimodal approach to its treatment. RECENT
findingsVenous sinus stenting may be an appropriate alternative to optic nerve sheath fenestration or cerebrospinal fluid shunting in select patients with fulminant IIH. Prompt surgical intervention maximizes the chance of visual recovery in patients with fulminant IIH. "Fulminant IIH" is defined as intracranial hypertension with no secondary cause, severe vision loss within 4 weeks of symptom onset, and progressive vision loss over days. Rapid recognition of the fulminant phenotype of IIH by emergency department physicians, neurologists, and ophthalmologists is critical. Without appropriate triage and rapid medical and surgical intervention, patients with fulminant IIH are at high risk for profound, permanent vision loss. Prompt surgical intervention with optic nerve sheath fenestration, cerebrospinal fluid shunting, or venous sinus stenting minimizes the chance of poor visual outcome. If a delay is anticipated, serial lumbar punctures or temporary cerebrospinal fluid drainage and medical therapy may forestall irreversible vision loss.
