Clinical Profile and Prognosis of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an acute cerebrovascular disease diagnosed nowadays more frequently. Magnetic resonance venogram (MRV) is the modality of choice for accurate diagnosis. Young females in their childbearing age are prone to develop CVST. Clinical presentation is mainly with headache, focal neurologic deficits, and seizures. Around one third of the patients have altered sensorium at presentation. Prognosis of CVST is good if diagnosed and treated early. Long-term deficits may remain in one quarter of patients. The aim of our study was to do clinical profiling and prognosis of CVST patients. Materials and methods This is a descriptive study conducted at the department of Neurology, Sheikh Zayed Medical College/Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan. Study duration was one year. Patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Patients confirmed to have CVST on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/MRV were included in final analysis. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Board. Results Thirty three out of 54 patients were included in the final analysis. Out of them, 29 (87.8%) were females and four (12.1%) were males. The mean age at the time of presentation was 31.36 ± 9.61. Of the 29 females, only three were pregnant and 26 were in the postpartum period at the time of presentation. Twelve (41.4%) females were primigravida. Focal deficits were present in 30 (90.9%) patients; headache was present in 26 (78.8%) patients; seizures were present in 24 (72.7%) patients on presentation; and anemia was present in 20 (60.6%) patients. Conclusion CVST is an important cause of intracranial hypertension, seizures, and stroke in young people. Clinical presentation is extremely variable, and a high index of suspicion is needed. Magnetic resonance imaging brain with MRV is the current diagnostic modality of choice. Medical management with anticoagulants and supportive measures has excellent clinical outcomes.
