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

purpose of reviewIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) typically affects women of childbearing age, is associated with recent weight gain, and can result in debilitating headache as well as papilledema that can cause vision loss. There have been advances in the medical and surgical treatment of affected patients with IIH that can improve outcomes and tolerability of therapy. RECENT

findingsMedical treatment with agents that lower intracranial pressure through pathways other than carbonic anhydrase inhibition are being developed, and medically-directed weight loss as well as bariatric surgery now may be considered as primary therapy. New surgical options including venous sinus stenting have shown efficacy even with cases of severe vision loss. Our treatment options for IIH patients are becoming more diverse, and individualized treatment decisions are now possible to address specific components of the patient's disease manifestations and to lead to IIH remission.
