Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter: Correlation With Intra-Ventricular Intracranial Measurements in Predicting Dysfunctional Intracranial Compliance.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background Ultrasonographic (USG) measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) has been proposed as a non-invasive, bedside method to detect raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in various clinical settings. We aimed to correlate the ONSD obtained from ultrasonography with the gold standard, intraventricular ICP, and to find out the cut-off point which predicts ICP accurately at different levels. Methodology A prospective double-blind study was carried out by performing ocular ultrasounds in 30 adult patients with features of intracranial hypertension. The ONSD was measured by USG intraoperatively along with direct intraventricular pressure measurement. The ONSD was compared with the intraventricular ICP and correlations were derived. The optimum cut-off of ONSD to predict ICP > 20 mm Hg, 25 mm Hg, 30 mm Hg, and 35 mm Hg was sought. Results There was a significant correlation of ONSD with ICP (r = 0.532, p = 0.002). An ONSD threshold of 5.5 mm predicted ICP > 20 mm Hg with high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (75%) (area under receiver operating characteristic [ROC] curve = 0.904, p=0.01). The optimum ONSD cut-off predicting ICP at values of 25 mm Hg, 30 mm Hg, and 35 mm Hg was 6.3 mm, 6.5 mm, and 6.7 mm, respectively. Conclusion Our study confirms the utility of optic nerve ultrasound in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with known or suspected intracranial hypertension. We recommend an ONSD cut-off of 5.5 mm for predicting ICP > 20 mm Hg.
