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

Headache has been consistently reported as the most common symptom of cerebral venous thrombosis and as the most frequent presenting feature. It is often the heralding symptom, preceding other manifestations of the disease by days or even weeks. This aspect highlights the importance of recognizing headache due to cerebral venous thrombosis, as early recognition of the disease can lead to a rapid diagnosis with appropriate imaging techniques and as early treatment with heparin can dramatically change the course of the disease and alter the prognosis. Unfortunately, although common, the headache has no specific features, and the clinical presentation of CVT is highly variable, making the correct diagnosis in the emergency setting a challenging task for clinicians, even in the case of highly specialized ones such as neurologists. In this review, we will briefly summarize the epidemiology and physiopathology of CVT, and then we will discuss in more details the causes, features, and course of headache, focusing on its relevance for differential diagnosis and on red flags that should suggest the possibility of CVT as the cause of the headache.
