A Case of Bilateral Papilledema With Improved Clinical Symptoms by Venous Stenting for Superior Sagittal 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
Superior sagittal sinus (SSS) obstruction causes intracranial hypertension, often requiring surgical stenting. Consensus on treating brain venous sinus stenosis, another cause, is lacking. This study reports a case of SSS stenosis and intracranial hypertension treated with venous stenting, improving bilateral papilledema. A 51-year-old with a headache and visual disturbance had papilledema and visual field loss. MR venography showed SSS stenosis, leading to a neurosurgery referral. Lumbar puncture confirmed intracranial hypertension (>35 cmH2O), prompting venous stenting. Post-procedure, papilledema, headache, and visual field loss improved. Venous stenting could be effective for SSS stenosis with clinically proven or recurrent pressure differences. Further cases are needed for standardization.
