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

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon cause of stroke with high morbidity and mortality rates from venous infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, and extensive cerebral edema. Endovascular treatment with various devices has been proposed as a salvage treatment when standard medical treatment with systemic anticoagulation is ineffective, especially in long segment dural sinus thrombosis. We describe our technique of transvenous endovascular aspiration thrombectomy with large bore thrombectomy catheters, followed by placement of microcatheter for local thrombolytic infusion at the site of thrombosis. We report a retrospective study of angiographic and clinical outcome of six consecutive patients treated with this approach. Endovascular aspiration thrombectomy with large bore catheters followed by continuous local thrombolytic infusion appeared to be a safe and effective salvage treatment for selected patients with cerebral dural venous sinus thrombosis refractory to medical treatment.
