Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis: What radiologist and clinician must know?
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 20 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
purposeSuperior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is an extremely rare condition. Few studies have been published about clinical aspects of this condition. In this study, we have studied the symptoms, underlying etiologies, treatment, pathogenesis and complication of the SOVT and we tried to classify it based on the etiology, treatment, and prognosis.
methodsWe reviewed the patients' data from a tertiary academic referral center. Each patient with SOVT was then reviewed for symptoms associated with SOVT, underlying etiology, treatment protocol, treatment response, complications, possible pathogens, and final outcome.
resultsTwenty-four cases of SOVT were included in this study. Overall, 13 cases were diagnosed as right-sided SOVT, out of which, eight had simultaneous right-sided cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST). Eighteen cases were diagnosed to have left-sided SOVT, out of which, 11 had simultaneous left-sided CST.
conclusionsThe SOVT can be secondary to different mechanisms. The SOVT secondary to trauma, recent surgery and coagulopathy are mostly non-aggressive, and can be managed by conservative therapy and anticoagulation. The SOVT in patients with orbital cellulitis, history of active sinusitis or paranasal sinus surgery are aggressive presenting with acute orbital swelling, abscess and visual loss. This type of SOVT can be complicated by extension to the cavernous sinus and intracranial structures. These patients require urgent antibiotics therapy and sinus surgery. The most severe type of SOVT is caused by mucormycosis which may also extend intracranially resulting in stroke and is often life-threatening.
