Increased Intracranial Pressure Due to Transverse Sinus Compression by a Meningioma En Plaque.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is defined as raised intracranial pressure of unknown etiology. Looking for underlying causes needs to be undertaken before the diagnosis is confirmed and managed accordingly. We are reporting a rare and unique case of a patient with the clinical diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri. She is not obese and not taking any predisposing medication. Her first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venogram (MRV) were reported as showing left transverse sinus thrombosis. She was treated with anticoagulation. Her final diagnosis of left transverse sinus compression by a meningioma en plaque (MEP) was finally made with a repeat MRI. A high index of suspicion of unusual causes is important when IIH presents in an atypical patient or with an atypical presentation. The prognosis and management of real IIH and raised intracranial pressure due to other causes are different.
