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

Central venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare cause of headache and stroke but has a wide clinical spectrum of presentations, including headache, seizures, focal neurological signs and alteration in consciousness, which can present in isolation or in various combinations. CVST is a difficult diagnosis to make in clinical practice but advances in neuroimaging allows for faster and more precise diagnosis, but it can still prove elusive. Non-infectious CVST are now more common that post-infectious, for which there are a variety of causes and risk factors in the clinical history that can suggest the diagnosis. The authors present a case that highlights the difficulty in diagnosis and identifies an association with a common eating disorder. A literature review discusses the complexities of presentation, aetiology, imaging and the current evidence on management.
