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

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, a disease classically occurring in women with obesity, is characterized by raised intracranial pressure. Weight loss leads to the reduction in intracranial pressure. Additionally, pharmacological glucagon-like peptide-1 agonism reduces cerebrospinal fluid secretion and intracranial pressure. The potential mechanisms by which weight loss reduces intracranial pressure are unknown and were the focus of this study. Meal stimulation tests (fasted plasma sample, then samples at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min following a standardized meal) were conducted pre- and post-bariatric surgery [early (2 weeks) and late (12 months)] in patients with active idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Dynamic changes in gut neuropeptides (glucagon-like peptide-1, gastric inhibitory polypeptide and ghrelin) and metabolites (untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) were evaluated. We determined the relationship between gut neuropeptides, metabolites and intracranial pressure. Eighteen idiopathic intracranial hypertension patients were included [Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)
