1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 13-year-old male asthmatic presented to the general paediatric clinic with papilloedema identified following a check-up with his optician due to blurred vision. His asthma was well controlled on a moderate dose of inhaled corticosteroid and there had been no recent increase or decrease in the dose. A diagnosis of benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) was made based on a raised cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure, papilloedema, a normal neurological examination and normal neuroimaging. The only associated risk factor was his inhaled corticosteroids. He was commenced on acetazolamide and the inhaled corticosteroid dose was reduced, resulting in resolution of his papilloedema. This case serves to highlight that steroid side effects including BIH may occur at moderate doses of inhaled corticosteroids and that inhaled corticosteroid dose should be regularly reviewed and decreased to the lowest dose that maintains asthma control.
