Diastolic blood pressure predicts enlarged vertebral venous plexus and intracranial pressure in patients with bilateral transverse sinus stenosis.

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
Background: Bilateral transverse sinus stenosis (BTSS) is associated with intracranial hypertension. Enlarged vertebral venous plexus (EVVP) refers to a compensation mechanism against elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with BTSS. This study aims to investigate the influencing factors of EVVP. Methods: Patients with BTSS were prospectively recruited from the neurology department and neurosurgery department of Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021. Results: A total of 37 patients were enrolled with a mean age of 45.42 ± 15.64 years. Women tend to be more susceptible to BTSS. The most common co-morbid disease was hypertension. The most common clinical manifestations were visual disorders, headaches, and tinnitus. BMI and DBP were significantly higher in BTSS patients without EVVP than those with EVVP. Multivariate analysis revealed that diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was negatively correlated with EVVP. In addition, a positive correlation between DBP and the ICP was also observed. A DBP of 81.5 mmHg was calculated as the cutoff value for the presence of EVVP. BTSS patients with DBP ≤ 81.5 mmHg had a higher incidence of EVVP and a lower ICP compared to those with DBP > 81.5 mmHg. Conclusions: DBP was identified as an independent predictor of EVVP. DBP was lower (≤81.5 mmHg) in patients with EVVP and therefore was associated with a lower ICP in patients with BTSS.
