The Promising Future of Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin in Pediatric Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Occurring as a Rare Complication of Ulcerative Colitis.

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
Pediatric cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare complication of ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease which accentuates hypercoagulation, thereby leading to thrombosis. Herein, we report a case of a 10-year-old girl who presented with chief complaints of headache, confusion, and new-onset seizure activity for one month as progressively worsening sequelae of ulcerative colitis. Her magnetic resonance venogram confirmed thrombosis in the right transverse, sigmoid, and superior sagittal sinus. The acute ulcerative colitis flare was managed with a short course of steroids and anti-inflammatory monoclonal antibody, and CVST got improved with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). Our study emphasizes the emergence of fatal complications of ulcerative colitis in the pediatric population. It also endorses the pivotal role of thromboprophylaxis with LMWH in pediatric CVST patients. Nevertheless, further studies are required to standardize the use of LMWH in clinical practice.
