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

Few cases have been reported of extra-cranial tumours in the neck causing intracranial hypertension due to jugular vein compression and consequent outflow obstruction. We present a case of a patient presenting with transient vision loss due to intracranial hypertension of unidentifiable cause on initial imaging workup. Upon further evaluation, the patient was found to have a neck tumour compressing the right jugular vein with stenosis of the ipsilateral transverse sinus - both contributing to his intracranial hypertension. Atypical patients presenting with symptoms concerning for intracranial hypertension may benefit from imaging below the level of the head to evaluate for extra-cranial causes.
