Idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema in chronic migraineurs and revisiting of friedman's diagnostic criteria.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The application of Friedman's criteria to diagnose suggested IIH WOP will prevent many chronic patients with migraine (CM) from proper diagnosis and treatment. Our prospective study aimed to compare the prevalence of suggested IIH WOP in case of following Friedman's criteria and in case of novel proposed criteria (OP > 200 mmH2O and radiological finding ≥ two), also reporting the predictive radiological signs for IIH WOP. Refractory chronic patients with migraine underwent ophthalmologic, neurological evaluation, MRI, and a lumbar puncture (LP) with opening pressure (OP) measurement. CSF withdrawal was performed in patients with CSF OP > 200 mmH20. Suggested IIHWOP was defined according to Friedman's criteria and our novel criteria. Regression analysis was performed to detect the strongest predictor of suggested IIHWOP. The effect of CSF withdrawal was evaluated clinically after two months. One hundred and two consecutive CM were enrolled (95 F, age 32.34 ± 9.45, and BMI 29.04 ± 5.89) without papilledema. Eighteen patients (17.65%) had OP greater than 250 mmH2O, and 20 patients (19.61%) with OP ≥ 200 mmH2O and ≤ 250 mH2O. Prevalence of suggested IIH WOP, according to Friedman's diagnostic criteria, was three patients (2.9%) only. In case of our novel diagnostic criteria (Absent 6th nerve palsy, ICP > 200 mmH2O, and ≥ two radiological signs), eight patients (7.8%) were discovered. After CSF withdrawal, 85% of patients with migraine with OP > 200 mm H2O improved, specially CM with bilateral Transverse sinus stenosis (TSS). The prevalence of suggested IIH WOP in CM was 7.8%. Bilateral TSS was the only predictor of IIHWOP.
