Association of venous varix and developmental venous anomaly: report of a case and review of literature.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are the most frequently encountered cerebral vascular malformation. Most are asymptomatic and incidentally detected. Here we present a case of DVA associated with venous varix presented with chronic headache. A 50-year-old woman presented with right hemicranial headache since 6 months. There was no neurological deficit. MRI showed a well-defined oval T2 hyperintense, T1 isointense extra-axial lesion in the right parietal region showing intense homogeneous enhancement. Prominent vascular flow void was extending from the lesion up to the deep parietal white matter. Subtle thin linear areas of blooming noted in the parietal white matter converging towards the vascular flow void. The venous sac is in communication with the cortical vein draining to the superior sagittal sinus. These MRI findings favoured a diagnosis of DVA in the right parietal lobe with prominent draining vein forming a cortical venous varix. The patient was managed conservatively with symptomatic treatment for headache.
