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

backgroundRefractory intracranial hypertension is a condition characterized by persistently elevated intracranial pressure that does not respond to conventional treatments. Diagnosis and management typically involve a combination of medical and surgical interventions. However, identifying the potential etiology can be particularly difficult under certain conditions. The causes of refractory intracranial hypertension due to non-traumatic brain injury are often difficult to detect. Untreated or ineffectively treated refractory intracranial hypertension can result in severe symptoms and potential vision loss. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported a 15-year-old teenager with no history of trauma who experienced intermittent headaches and projectile vomiting over a 30-day period, accompanied by intracranial pressure exceeding 28 cmH

conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of considering extracranial causes in cases of refractory intracranial hypertension and management strategy for patients with refractory intracranial hypertension.
