Hyperthyroidism as a Precipitant Factor for Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 (CVT) is an uncommon yet serious condition. While CVT has many known precipitants and etiologies, hyperthyroidism as a precipitant of CVT is not well understood. This study reported a case of a 41-year-old male with a 4-year history of hyperthyroidism presented with seizure. Consequently, a diagnosis of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis was confirmed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance (MR) venograms. Extensive investigations yielded no apparent underlying cause, but laboratory findings were consistent with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. The patient improved rapidly following anticoagulation. Follow-up MR and MRV scans 2 months after treatment revealed full recanalization of the superior sagittal sinus. This case report highlighted hyperthyroidism, as a procoagulant condition, resulting specifically in superior sagittal sinus thrombosis.
