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

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) typically manifests with headache, accompanied by papilledema and visual loss, and has a higher prevalence in females. In recent years, ocular sonography, particularly, measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), is being investigated for diagnosis of IIH. Methods: A total of 35 patients over the age of 18 years, fulfilling the modified Dandy's criteria for diagnosis of IIH were included. Patients underwent assessment with magnetic resonance imaging, lumbar puncture, and ocular sonography to measure ONSD and ocular arterial indices. Results: The mean ONSD values (in centimeters) in the right eye of patients with IIH was 0.57 ± 0.13, while it was 0.48 ± 0.03 in controls. In the left eye, the mean ONSD value (cm) was 0.59 ± 0.13 in patients with IIH and 0.48 ± 0.03 in controls. ONSD was significantly higher in cases compared to controls ( Conclusion: Our study provides insights into the utility of optic nerve sheath measurements and arterial indices in the diagnosis of IIH in a South Indian cohort. Further research is needed to fully understand the longitudinal relationship of these parameters and treatment outcomes in IIH.
