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

Since the first description of visual snow syndrome (VSS) in 1995, there has been increasing interest particularly within the past 5-10 years in phenotyping the condition and differentiating it from conditions such as migraine with aura and hallucinogen persisting perception disorder. Structural and functional neuroimaging has provided valuable insights in this regard, yielding functional networks and anatomical regions of interest, of which the right lingual gyrus is of particular note. Various modalities, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), have all been studied in patients with visual snow. In this article, we conduct a comprehensive literature review of neuroimaging in VSS.
