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

BackgroundVenous hypertension has become a recognized condition associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Thresholds for dural venous sinus stenting (VSS) remain a topic of debate.MethodsIn 50 IIH patients, the lumbar puncture opening pressure (LPOP) and the pressure gradient across the dominant venous sinus were correlated. Clinical variables were compared; linear regression models were created. Venous stenting was performed in select patients with bilateral venous sinus stenosis, papilledema, LPOP >25 cmH2O, and a venous pressure gradient >10 mmHg.ResultsTwenty-nine patients were selected for venous sinus stenting (VSS); 21 patients did not meet the criteria for stenting despite some IIH symptoms. After stent implantation, patients experienced improvement in their symptoms.Across all 50 patients, there was a significant correlation between LPOP and the pressure gradient across the stenosis of the dominant venous sinus (
