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

Type 2 CSF leaks are spinal lateral dural tears, causing spontaneous intracranial hypotension. They may be visualized with digital subtraction myelography, conebeam CT myelography, and energy-integrating detector or photon-counting CT myelography. A recently introduced ultra-high-resolution conebeam CT myelography has shown beneficial visualization of CSF-venous fistulas, another cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. However, the use of this technique has not yet been reported in imaging of type 2 leaks. In this technical report, we describe our first experiences and highlight the advantages of ultra-high-resolution conebeam CT for visualizing type 2 leaks in spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
