Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis with Bilateral Abducens Palsy in a Patient with Heterozygous Prothrombin G20210A Mutation.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a rare case of cerebral venous thrombosis in a patient with heterozygous mutation of the prothrombin G20210A gene. A 24-year-old Caucasian male complained of sudden onset diplopia due to bilateral abducens palsy and throbbing headache with pulsatile tinnitus. Computed tomography revealed extensive thrombus in the right sigmoid sinus, right transverse sinus, and the superior sagittal sinus. Except for the prothrombin mutation, no other predisposing risk factors were found. The patient was treated with heparin, later transitioned to enoxaparin and warfarin, and subsequently, the symptoms improved on follow-up. This case reveals the rare occurrence of cerebral venous thrombosis in a patient having prothrombin gene G20210A mutation alone. Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to a good prognosis.
