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

purposeThere is no dedicated stent for isolated venous pulsatile tinnitus (IVPT). This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the the clinical outcomes and associated factors of Precise stent (Cordis) implantation in the management of IVPT.

methodsWe analyzed data from IVPT patients treated at our center between December 2009 and August 2024. Baseline characteristics, venous sinus morphology, endovascular techniques, clinical outcomes, and follow-up data were reviewed.

resultsAmong 111 IVPT patients, 64 (57.7%) underwent cranial venous sinus stenting (CVSS) using the Precise stent, with 59 (92.2%) being women. IVPT resolved immediately after CVSS in all cases. Over a mean follow-up of 90.9 ± 42.7 months, 18 patients (28.1%) experienced postoperative headaches, all female, with 61.1% reporting symptoms within the first week. Headaches had a mean duration of 44.9 ± 70.5 days and an average visual analog scale score of 3.4 ± 1.5, with 94.5% described as pressure-like. Younger age was significantly associated with headache occurrence (P < 0.05), while other factors, including stent size and operation time, showed no correlation.

conclusionPrecise stent implantation in venous sinus is highly effective for treating IVPT, but postoperative headaches, particularly in younger women, are a common complication. Further research is needed to mitigate these side effects and enhance long-term patient outcomes.
