Unilateral persistent disc oedema due to cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT): diagnostic and management challenge.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 50-year-old woman was incidentally diagnosed to have unilateral disc oedema during comprehensive ophthalmological evaluation. She had a prior history of ulcerative colitis. She had normal visual function and was initially diagnosed to have incipient non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropahty. Risk factor evaluation revealed hyperhomocysteinaemia. She was asked to come for a follow-up in 2 months. However, she was lost to follow-up and returned to the clinic for the evaluation for headaches, 23 months later. Her ocular examination was stable and she had persistent unilateral disc oedema unchanged from the prior visit. Repeat MRI brain and MR venogram brain with contrast-established diagnosis of cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT). She denied any neurological symptoms. Later on, she was diagnosed to have hyperhomocysteinaemia with methyl tetrahydrofolate reductase gene mutation. This case highlights the importance of recognising although rare, unilateral disc oedema secondary to elevated intracranial pressure from CSVT.
