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

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a syndrome characterized by disabling orthostatic headache, resulting from a reduction in volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) likely caused by a CSF leak. It mainly affects women at working age and is probably underdiagnosed. This protocol aims to present a proposal for a practical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of SIH. After a descriptive section of the clinical manifestations of SIH, we present a step-by-step model of action to confirm its diagnosis and treatment, considering different clinical scenarios. The aim is, therefore, to facilitate clinical decision-making through a systematized and individualized approach, aiming to best interest of the patient.
