Classical infratentorial superficial siderosis of the central nervous system: pathophysiology, clinical features and management.
Review in Practical neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The term superficial siderosis (SS) is derived from the Greek word 'sideros', meaning iron. It includes two subtypes, distinguished by their anatomical distribution, causes and clinical features: 'classical' infratentorial SS (iSS, which sometimes also affects supratentorial regions) and cortical SS (cSS, which affects only supratentorial regions). This paper considers iSS, a potentially disabling disorder usually associated with very slow persistent or intermittent subarachnoid bleeding from a dural defect, and characterised by progressive hearing and vestibular impairment, ataxia, myelopathy and cognitive dysfunction. The causal dural defect-most often spinal but sometimes in the posterior fossa-typically follows trauma or neurosurgery occurring decades before diagnosis. Increasing recognition of iSS with paramagnetic-sensitive MRI is leading to an unmet clinical need. Given the diagnostic challenges and complex neurological impairments in iSS, we have developed a multidisciplinary approach involving key teams. We discuss pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of iSS, including a proposed clinical care pathway.
