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

Idiopathic intracranial hypotension (IIH) is an uncommon condition characterized by cerebrospinal fluid leakage, which may lead to complications such as chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Management of recurrent CSDH in the context of IIH remains a therapeutic challenge. A 50-year-old man presented with bilateral CSDH associated with symptoms of IIH. Initial conservative treatment was followed by burr hole drainage due to deteriorating consciousness. Despite temporary improvement, hematoma recurrence necessitated repeat drainage. Subsequently, bilateral middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) was performed. The patient showed rapid clinical recovery, and no recurrence was observed at 3-month follow-up. MMAE may be an effective and minimally invasive treatment option for recurrent CSDH associated with IIH, especially when surgical intervention poses risks or proves insufficient. Early recognition of IIH and tailored intervention strategies are essential for optimal outcomes.
