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

backgroundThere is a need for clinical outcome data of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in cancer patients. We examined the recanalization, thrombosis recurrence and major bleeding during CVT treatment in a cancer exclusive adult population.

methodsWe performed a retrospective review of cancer associated CVT identified through an institutional data warehouse. The primary endpoint was radiological and comprised the evaluation of thrombus recanalization at 12 months. Secondary endpoints were clinical and included rates of bleeding complications and recurrence of CVT. Variables were compared across subgroups of study outcomes. The backward stepdown procedure was used to identify variables for the final logistic model regarding thrombosis and bleeding outcomes.

resultsThe population included forty-five patients, slightly predominant of male adults (55.6%) with a median age of 54.5 years. Solid malignancies comprised 64.4% of cases. A total of 31 cases were treated with anticoagulation. CVT recanalization was documented in almost 60% of cases. The cerebral venous thrombosis recurrence or propagation rate at 12 months was 15.6%. Major bleeding complications were observed in 15 patients.

conclusionsOur findings are suggestive of a narrow therapeutic index of anticoagulation in cancer-CVT. Careful monitoring of anticoagulation effect and bleeding complications are of utmost clinical relevance in cancer patients. Further larger and controlled studies are needed to confirm our observations.
