A Case Report of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension With Left-Sided Facial Spasm.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) typically presents with increased intracranial pressure of an unknown origin. Facial spasms are an uncommon manifestation of IIH. We report a 56-year-old female patient displaying atypical IIH symptoms of left-sided facial spasm. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed the diagnosis of IIH, and the patient received treatment with acetazolamide. This case highlights the importance of considering IIH as a potential diagnosis in patients with facial spasms, especially when accompanied by other neurological symptoms. Early recognition, a high level of suspicion, and appropriate management are crucial for optimizing outcomes in IIH cases. Furthermore, collaboration among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and ophthalmologists is essential for the comprehensive evaluation and management of IIH patients.
