Course of papilloedema following surgical decompression in CHIARI I malformation with raised intracranial pressure.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Arnold-Chiari malformations (ACM) is a rare congenital hindbrain maldevelopment, leading to downward herniation of the cerebellar tonsils. Clinical features relates to cerebrospinal fluid disturbances, manifesting as symptoms of headaches, pseudotumour-like episodes, cranial nerve palsies and cerebellar dysfunction. Ocular manifestations includes varying ophthalmoloplegia and accommodation abnormalities. Papilloedema has been rarely implicated and remains an uncommon feature of ACM. We report a case of ACM who developed papilloedema and visual disturbance, that was successfully treated with suboccipital decompression. The presentation of patients with ACM-I and papilloedema unaccompanied by localising signs may resemble that of IIH. Neuroimaging with special attention to the craniocervical junction in saggital and transverse planes is crucial. Surgical decompression of the posterior fossa seems to improve headache symptoms and clinical signs of papilloedema.
