[Idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Review of our experience in the last eight years (2016-2023)].

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
introductionIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) or benign intracranial hypertension is a rare disease in childhood. The clinical presentation in pediatric patients can be very variable, being more unespecific in younger patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective descriptive study was carried out on patients diagnosed of IIH in the last eight years (2016-2023) in the neuropediatrics unit of a tertiary hospital. In the present study, the clinical-epidemiological characteristics and the diagnostic-therapeutic procedure carried out in each case were analyzed.
resultsWe studied 14 patients, 57% were women. The average age at diagnosis was 9 years, headache was the most common reason for consultation. In all patients, papilledema was found in the fundus and neuroimaging didn´t find alterations. Optical coherence tomography has been carried out in 78.5% of the sample, > 80% of patients showed thickening of the retinal nerve fiber layer. All patients had a high cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure (>25 cmH2O). 57% of patients required treatment with acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibito. In all patients the resolution was complete, however almost 30% of them have presented recurrences during follow-up.
conclusionsIn recent years there has been an increase in the incidence of this entity, making early diagnosis and treatment essential to avoid possible irreversible damage.
