Non-Invasive Quantitative Approximation of Intracranial Pressure in Pediatric Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Based on Point-of-Care Ultrasound of the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter.
Article in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo investigate whether ultrasound-based optic nerve sheath diameter (US-ONSD) is a reliable measure to follow up children with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). In addition, to analyze the inter- and intra-individual relationships between US-ONSD and intracranial pressure (ICP), and to investigate whether an individualized mathematical regression equation obtained from two paired US-ONSD/ICP values can be used to approximate ICP from US-ONSD values.
methods159 US examinations and 53 invasive ICP measures via lumbar puncture (LP) were performed in 28 children with IIH. US-ONSD was measured using a 12 Mhz linear transducer and compared to ICP values. In 15 children, a minimum of 2 paired US-ONSD/ICP determinations were performed, and repeated-measures correlation (rmcorr) and intra-individual correlations were analyzed.
resultsThe cohort correlation between US-ONSD and ICP was moderate (r = 0.504,
conclusionsRelated to excellent intra-individual correlations between US-ONSD and ICP, an individualized regression formula, created from two pairs of US-ONSD/ICP values, may be used to directly approximate ICP based on US-ONSD values. Hence, US-ONSD may become a non-invasive and reliable measure to control treatment efficacy in pediatric IIH.
