Seizure in cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis.
Review in Epilepsia open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Many conflicting issues exist about seizure in the setting of cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST). In this article we aimed to address the existing data regarding incidence, characteristics, predictors, treatment, and prognosis of acute and late seizures in patients with CVST and to prepare more practical information for clinicians. PubMed, Embase, Web of science and Cochrane databases were searched within 1966-2016 using relevant keywords. A total of 63 papers met the inclusion criteria. Seizures are classified as acute symptomatic seizures (ASS; first 14 days) and post-CVST epilepsy (PCE; after 14 days). The incidence had been reported in a wide range of 6.9-76% for ASS and 4-16% for PCE. Focal and generalized seizures were observed with different predominance. ASS commonly occurred in patients with loss of consciousness, focal neurological deficits, supratentorial lesions and thrombosis in superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, and cortical veins. PCE had been predisposed by occurrence of ASS, motor deficit, and supratentorial lesions, particularly hemorrhage. Most experts believe that primary prophylaxis with antiepileptic drugs in the acute phase is not indicated. However, the initiation of prophylaxis after the first seizure in patients with supratentorial lesions or focal neurological deficit should be recommended. The quality of current evidence is low and most conclusions are based on expert opinions. More accurate reports of seizure semiology, detailed antiepileptic treatment plans, and outcomes are necessary to answer the existing questions.
