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

The most common diagnostic error of IIH is inaccurate funduscopic examination. Moreover, IIH could be diagnosed without papilledema. Trans orbital sonography could be used as a non-invasive and cheap tool for discovering increased ICP (intracranial Pressure). Aim of our study was discovering the changes in ultra-sonographic indices and which one could predict the increased ICP. Sixty-eight patients were diagnosed as definite IIH and 68 healthy volunteers are included in the study who had the same sex and age. ONSD, peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistance index (RI) were estimated by transorbital color Doppler. Multivariate linear regression was used to discover the predictors of increased ICP. ROC curve was plotted for the predictor. A statistically significant difference was found between IIH patients and controls regarding ONSD, EDV and RI. Multivariate linear regression revealed that ONSD is the only predictor of increased CSP pressure. Its cut-off value indicating high ICP was 5.7 mm on Rt and Lt eye (AUC: 0.916; 95% confidence interval 0.867-0.965; p < 0.001; 90% sensitivity, 80% specificity at Rt eye. AUC: 0.902; 95% confidence interval 0.845-0.958; p < 0.001; 91% sensitivity, 80% specificity at Lt eye).
