Navigating the Enigma: A Comprehensive Review of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
An unidentified source of increased intracranial pressure is a hallmark of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also referred to as pseudotumor cerebri. It mainly affects young, obese women, yet it can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, or weight. IIH presents with symptoms such as headaches, visual disturbances, and pulsatile tinnitus and can lead to severe complications, including vision loss, if left untreated. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, neuroimaging, and lumbar puncture, while management options include medical interventions and surgical procedures. This review provides a comprehensive overview of IIH, including its etiology, clinical presentation, epidemiology, complications, management approaches, and challenges. Increased awareness among healthcare professionals, standardized diagnostic criteria, and further research efforts are essential for improving outcomes and quality of life for individuals with IIH.
