The effect of jugular foramen volume on the development of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

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 condition characterized by elevated intracranial pressure in the absence of an intracranial mass lesion and is commonly associated with neuro-ophthalmic symptoms. Although venous outflow abnormalities, particularly transverse sinus stenosis, have been extensively investigated in idiopathic intracranial hypertension, the potential role of jugular foramen volume has not been previously studied. Considering that major venous structures pass through the jugular foramen, this study aimed to evaluate whether jugular foramen volume plays a role in the development of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.MethodsForty patients who were diagnosed and followed up for idiopathic intracranial hypertension according to the modified Friedman criteria were included in the study. A control group of 40 individuals without idiopathic intracranial hypertension was randomly selected from the same archive. Jugular foramen volumes were measured using cranial computed tomography scans retrieved from the institutional archive. Age, sex, and bilateral jugular foramen volumes were recorded.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were found between the idiopathic intracranial hypertension and control groups regarding right, left, or total jugular foramen volumes. The mean right jugular foramen volume was 1.574 ± 0.407 cm³ in the idiopathic intracranial hypertension group and 1.538 ± 0.308 cm³ in the control group; the mean left jugular foramen volumes were 1.474 ± 0.316 cm³ and 1.471 ± 0.246 cm³, respectively. No significant association was observed between jugular foramen volume and the development of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (
