Sonographic Visualization of a Tortuous Optic Nerve: Case Report of a Novel Finding on Point-of-Care Ultrasound.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionIdiopathic intracranial hypertension is a disorder typically affecting females with common complaints of headaches and visual disturbances. Diagnostic criteria have been described with clinical findings, high opening pressures in lumbar punctures, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. CASE REPORT: A 36-year-old female presented with double vision and headaches. Point-of-care ultrasound demonstrated tortuosity of the optic nerve, a finding previously described in MRI studies, which may serve as an additional marker for ideopathic intracranial hypertension.
conclusionThis case highlights the potential of point-of-care ultrasound to detect tortuous optic nerves, which may help in the early diagnosis of ideopathic intracranial hypertension, facilitating more timely and effective management.
