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

rationaleVenous sinus thrombosis is a special type of cerebrovascular disease. Its incidence is low and its symptoms are lack of specificity. And its early diagnosis and treatment are very difficult. PATIENT CONCERNS: This paper reported a rare case of a 43-year-old female who presented with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) complicated with cerebral artery infarction and secondary epileptic seizures due to oral contraceptives. DIAGNOSES: The final diagnosis was intracranial venous sinus thrombosis, acute cerebral infarction in the left parietal lobe, intracranial hypertension syndrome, and continuous epilepsy.

interventionsThe patient recovered well after active treatment. OUTCOMES: Three months after discharge, the muscle strength of the right limb of the patient was significantly increased, and no recurrence of neurological symptoms occurred. LESSONS: In conclusion, early diagnosis, correct evaluation, and standard treatment are still important challenges for CVT. Active treatment is recommended.
