Human ophthalmic artery as a sensor for non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring: numerical modeling and in vivo pilot study.

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
Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is important in managing neurosurgical, neurological, and ophthalmological patients with open-angle glaucoma. Non-invasive two-depth transcranial Doppler (TCD) technique is used in a novel method for ICP snapshot measurement that has been previously investigated prospectively, and the results showed clinically acceptable accuracy and precision. The aim of this study was to investigate possibility of using the ophthalmic artery (OA) as a pressure sensor for continuous ICP monitoring. First, numerical modeling was done to investigate the possibility, and then a pilot clinical study was conducted to compare two-depth TCD-based non-invasive ICP monitoring data with readings from an invasive Codman ICP microsensor from patients with severe traumatic brain injury. The numerical modeling showed that the systematic error of non-invasive ICP monitoring was < 1.0 mmHg after eliminating the intraorbital and blood pressure gradient. In a clinical study, a total of 1928 paired data points were collected, and the extreme data points of measured differences between invasive and non-invasive ICP were - 3.94 and 4.68 mmHg (95% CI - 2.55 to 2.72). The total mean and SD were 0.086 ± 1.34 mmHg, and the correlation coefficient was 0.94. The results show that the OA can be used as a linear natural pressure sensor and that it could potentially be possible to monitor the ICP for up to 1 h without recalibration.
