↑↑ = most evidence: significantly increased in iNPH patients in two or more studies, and maximum one study reports a contradictory result. ↑ = limited evidence: significantly increased in iNPH patients in a single study. ↓ = limited evidence: significantly decreased in iNPH patients in a single study. → → = most evidence: no significant difference in two or more studies, and maximum one study reports a contradictory result. → = no significant difference in a single study. Contr = contradicting results.
