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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to analyse less known clinical scenarios associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

methodsThe study involved analysis of magnetic resonance imaging signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in patients with spontaneous rhinoliquorrhoea (

resultsThree of six patients with spontaneous rhinoliquorrhoea and six of 15 operated patients with temporal lobe epilepsy due to temporal lobe meningo-encephaloceles showed magnetic resonance imaging signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension and had a body mass index >30 kg/m

conclusionsMagnetic resonance imaging findings should guide the clinician to consider (idiopathic) intracranial hypertension when patients develop spontaneous rhinoliquorrhoea, temporal lobe epilepsy secondary to temporal lobe meningoencephaloceles or high pressure headaches in spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Whether idiopathic intracranial hypertension must be regarded as a differential diagnosis or as a cause, or whether there are common pathophysiological pathways that lead to signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in this wider spectrum of disease is the focus of further study.
