Endovascular suction thrombectomy for severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: A report of two cases.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a severe clinical condition that manifests with diverse symptoms that can be mild, taking the form of a headache, or can be life-threatening, with raised intracranial pressure and herniation. Despite systemic anticoagulation treatment, CVST still carries a mortality risk of approximately 10% because of the failure of venous recanalization by anticoagulants alone. This paper describes two cases with extensive CVST who presented with progressive neurological deterioration despite adequate systemic anticoagulation treatment. Both patients were successfully treated with endovascular clot removal using suction thrombectomy techniques with immediate recanalization of the sinuses and rapid radiographic improvement. The described therapy appears effective and safe; however, further studies are needed to validate the effectiveness of this treatment.
