1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is characterized by decreased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume due to leakage through the dural membrane. We present the case of a patient with SIH manifested by fluctuating low-frequency hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo. In this patient, endolymphatic hydrops in the cochlea and saccule were visualized by means of a special sequence of inner ear magnetic resonance imaging scans, with a gadolinium-based contrast agent administered intravenously. Endolymphatic hydrops is a potential underlying pathophysiology of SIH-associated hearing impairment. We hypothesize that SIH may be a rare cause of endolymphatic hydrops.
