The Use of Combined Fundus Photography and Perimetry for the Assessment of Patients Referred for Intracranial Hypertension or Follow-Up of the Diagnosis in a Tertiary Headache Center.

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
objectivesIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by increased intracranial pressure and papilledema. If left untreated, it can lead to vision loss, and, timely detection of papilledema is of paramount importance. Direct ophthalmoscopy can be difficult to perform and interpret for non-ophthalmologists. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of combined fundus photography and perimetry (CFPP) on patients with suspicion of new-onset IIH or IIH follow-up.
methodThe study was based on a cross-sectional, retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent CFPP examination due to suspicion of new-onset IIH or IIH follow-up at the Danish Headache Center between 2020 and 2023.
results258 patients were included for analysis, 92% females aged 17-72 years (mean age: 35.8 years). CFPP was performed due to clinical suspicion of new-onset IIH (38%), worsening/relapse of IIH (24%), assurance check in known IIH (19%), subjective symptoms (5%) or other reasons (14%). Overall, 62% had normal fundus photos, 21% had optic disc edema, 10% had other coincidental findings in the retina and/or optic disc, and 6% had an optic disc status unchanged from previous examinations. The use of CFPP confirmed the suspicion of IIH in 8% of patients and disproved it in 40% of patients. The CFPP results changed the treatment plan in 28% and caused referral to a neuroophthalmologist in 16% of patients.
conclusionCFPP can be used as a time- and resource-saving screening tool in headache patients with suspicion of new-onset IIH or follow-up in a tertiary neurology setting.
