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

Diffuse hyperdense cerebral vasculature is sometimes encountered on nonenhanced computed tomography, and polycythemia is one of the conditions which appears the same. The current case report is of a case of 37-year-old female patient arrived with a complaint of feeling severe headache for the past 3 days which was insidious in onset, diffuse in nature and it did not respond to any medication. NECT brain study showed the hyperdense circle of Willis and cerebral venous sinuses. Contrast was not administered for computed tomography study of the brain. On blood investigations, the patient had raised hematocrit level (74%). The hyperdense vessel was due to raised hematocrit (Polycythemia Vera).
