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

objectivesThe pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is poorly understood and disease-specific biomarkers are lacking. We aimed to shed light on IIH pathophysiology and identify disease-specific biomarkers.

methodsThis prospective cross-sectional cohort study included patients with new-onset IIH and age-, body mass index-, and sex-matched healthy controls from 2 tertiary Danish Headache Centers (discovery cohort). Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry analysis was used to measure reproducible proteomic profiles for paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. Results were validated using 3 validation cohorts comprising patients with IIH (pwIIH), cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (pwCSVT), and normal pressure hydrocephalus (pwNPH).

resultsWe included 53 pwIIH and 35 controls. PwIIH presented with papilledema and increased median lumbar puncture opening pressure (interquartile range [IQR]) (38.0 [33-46] vs 19.0 [17.0-23.0] cmH

interpretationWe identified a panel of independently validated IIH-specific candidate biomarkers. The serum candidate biomarkers pointed toward CA2 driven CSF hypersecretion in IIH providing a possible explanation for the therapeutic efficacy of CA inhibitors. The regulation of markers associated with neuronal impairment (APP, S100P/S100A12) confirmed the non-benign character of IIH. ANN NEUROL 2026;100:255-267.
