Noninvasive Intracranial Pressure Prediction Using a Multimodal Ultrasound-Based Hemispheric Modeling Strategy: A Prospective Dual-Center Study.

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.
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
backgroundAccurate intracranial pressure (ICP) surveillance is a cornerstone of neurocritical care management, yet invasive monitoring still depends on neurosurgical expertise, specialized hardware, and continuous bedside resources-factors that restrict universal use even though insertion-related complications are relatively uncommon. Contemporary noninvasive ultrasound methods have limited predictive accuracy and seldom incorporate affected side information. We therefore preliminarily validated a multimodal, ultrasound-based hemispheric modeling approach that blends hemodynamic and structural indexes while emphasizing affected side specificity to enhance ICP prediction.
methodsIn this prospective, dual-center study, 41 neurosurgical patients provided 216 paired ultrasound and invasive ICP measurements. Affected side and contralateral ultrasound parameters including pulsatility index, resistance index, optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), optic disk height, and ONSD-to-eyeball diameter ratio were analyzed. Linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) predicted continuous ICP, whereas generalized LMMs classified elevated ICP (≥ 20 mm Hg).
resultsAffected side parameters showed consistently stronger ICP correlations than unaffected side parameters. An affected side five-parameter LMM (pulsatility index, resistance index, ONSD, ONSD-to-eyeball diameter ratio, and optic disk height) provided superior continuous ICP prediction (coefficient of determination [R
conclusionsThis study demonstrated the feasibility and potential advantages of a novel hemispheric (side-specific) modeling strategy for noninvasive ICP assessment. The multiparameter model constructed using affected side ultrasound parameters exhibited promising predictive accuracy, providing a potentially valuable and innovative noninvasive approach for ICP monitoring in neurocritical care patients that may serve as an adjunct when invasive monitoring is unavailable, although further validation is warranted.
