"Preventing vision loss in pediatric otogenic thrombosis: a case report highlighting surgical interventions".
Article in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 2026. 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
Otogenic cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare complication of acute otitis media in children and may lead to severe intracranial hypertension with vision-threatening papilledema. We report the case of a 4-year-old girl with otogenic CVST involving the left transverse and sigmoid sinuses, complicated by marked intracranial hypertension and bilateral Frisén grade 4 papilledema. Serial ophthalmologic assessments and neuroimaging were performed to evaluate the response to sequential therapeutic interventions. Despite treatment with intravenous antibiotics, anticoagulation, and medical intracranial pressure-lowering therapy, papilledema and symptoms persisted. Optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF) resulted in partial improvement; however, subsequent temporary external lumbar drainage led to rapid and sustained resolution of papilledema, headache, and left abducens nerve palsy, with preservation of visual function. This case underscores the importance of a structured, stepwise escalation strategy incorporating both vision-directed and global intracranial pressure-lowering interventions when medical therapy alone is insufficient.
