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
introductionCerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a life-threatening disorder which can present with papilledema. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) also presents with papilledema, but is a relatively benign condition. Despite often presenting in a similar manner, CVST and IIH may lead to markedly different outcomes. We investigated if papilledema severity, related clinical features, and paraclinical visual assessment, can be used to differentiate between CVST and IIH-related papilledema, this way trying to improve a priori probability for both conditions at the bedside.
methodsConsecutive CVST and IIH ambulant alert patients presenting with papilledema were enrolled. Clinical and paraclinical (optical coherence tomography, automated perimetry) data were compared between groups.
resultsTwelve out of 39 CVST and 34 IIH patients were recruited (males: 2 [CVT], 8 [IIH]; mean age: 40,8 [CVST], 34,1 years [IIH] [p = 0,249]). CVST patients presented with lower papilledema Frisén grade (p = 0.036 OD, p = 0.013 OS), more headache (p = 0.017), shorter headache duration (p = 0.000), and less scotomas on the Amsler grid (p = 0.047). Diplopia was only present in IIH group (n = 7) and additional focal neurological signs were only present in CVST group (n = 5). The CVST group further showed lower peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness (p = 0.03 OD, p = 0.04 OS), and near significantly lower perimetric mean deviation ((p = 0,058 OD, 0,06 OS). Time to observation, RNFL thickness, and Frisén grade showed area under curve values > 0.76 for distinguishing CVST versus IIH. (0.904, 0.822, 0.761, respectively)
conclusionsCombined clinical and paraclinical visual assessment can help to distinguish between CVST- vs. IIH-related papilledema at the bedside.
