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

Purpose: To ascertain the role of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in the evaluation of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Material and methods: A retrospective study with convenient sampling was done during the period November 2018 to January 2020. Forty-one patients across all age groups with magnetic resonance venography (MRV) diagnosis of CVST and 82 gender-matched controls were included in the study. ONSD was measured on axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. CVST was identified on axial TOF-MRV including the stage, degree, and location. Intraparenchymal infarction and haemorrhage were also noted with their stage and size. The distribution of values for ONSD was tested for equality of variances using independent samples Results: The mean difference between ONSD of cases and controls was 0.84 mm (95% CI: 0.61-1.06) and was statistically significant at Conclusions: ONSD is a valid triage tool with high sensitivity and negative predictive value, and it can be used in the evaluation of CVST.
