Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea in an Otherwise Healthy 42-Year-Old Female Presenting to a Resident Clinic.
Article in Cureus, 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
Rhinorrhea, a common symptom documented in patients presenting to primary care clinics, urgent care facilities, and emergency departments, is often attributed to viral, bacterial, or allergic causes when no other obvious etiology, such as a foreign body, is found. However, in the absence of other infectious signs or symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea should be considered more prominently in a physician's differential diagnosis than it often is. This process can be either traumatic or non-traumatic, so even in the absence of recent head trauma, it should be evaluated, as this also leaves the patient vulnerable to multiple life-threatening complications. In this report, we discuss one such patient who presented to multiple physicians with progressively worsening rhinorrhea, which was discovered to be due to a CSF leak through a defect in her cribriform plate and the treatment she received to resolve this issue once it was identified.
