The historic evolution of intracranial pressure and cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure concepts: Two centuries of challenges.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThere is a consensus on the importance of monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) during neurosurgery, and this monitoring reduces mortality during procedures. Current knowledge of ICP and cerebrospinal fluid pulse pressure has been built thanks to more than two centuries of research on brain dynamics.
methodsArticles and books were selected using the descriptors "ICP," "cerebrospinal fluid pulse," "monitoring," "Monro-Kellie doctrine," and "ICP waveform" in electronic databases PubMed, Lilacs, Science Direct, and EMBASE.
resultsSeveral anatomists and physiologists have helped clarify the patterns of intracranial volumes under normal and pathological conditions. Monro-Kellie doctrine was an important step in a story that is reconstructed in this article. Through documentary research, we report the contribution of important medical figures, such as Monro, Kellie, Abercrombie, Burrows, Cushing, Langfitt, Marmarou, and other physiologists and anatomists who left their marks on the history of Medicine.
conclusionUnderstanding intracranial dynamics is an unfinished historical construction. Current knowledge is the result of two centuries of research that began with the investigations of Alexander Monro
