Evaluation and management of a patient with possible cerebral venous thrombosis.

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
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively rare form of stroke usually affecting young individuals. CVT is characterized by the diversity of its neurologic manifestations, which require a high level of clinical suspicion for diagnosis and prompt, appropriate treatment. Multiple circumstances have been associated with CVT, such as prior medical conditions, transient situations, certain medications, and some predisposing conditions. Headache, focal neurologic deficit, and seizures are the most frequent clinical manifestations at onset. MRI in combination with venography has become the imaging modality of choice, as this technique has a high sensitivity and specificity for establishing a diagnosis. CT venography is an alternative to MRI because this technique produces similar diagnostic results. Pharmacologic treatment of CVT with anticoagulants is widely accepted. Per 100 cases, the recurrence of CVT is 2.8% and the mortality of CVT is 10%.
