Reversible Bilateral Transverse Sinus Occlusion Treated by Lumboperitoneal Shunt in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Case Report.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a patient with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with bilateral transverse sinus occlusion treated by a lumboperitoneal shunt. A 45-year-old woman presented with visual disturbance and chronic headache. Magnetic resonance (MR) venography and three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA) showed occlusion of both transverse sinuses. After the surgery, MR venography and 3D-CTA showed no blockages in both transverse sinuses. This phenomenon reveals that obstruction of the bilateral transverse sinus is a consequence of intracranial hypertension, not just a single cause. Since many patients have an obstruction or stenosis of the venous sinus, there are some reports of endovascular treatment. Sinus reconstruction is usually effective, but it is not effective in some cases. Reversal of sinus occlusion suggests that endovascular therapy for IIH is inadequate in some cases.
