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

introductionFetal dural sinus malformation is a rare but important finding during pregnancy as it has the potential for significant complications.

methodsHere we present a case of fetal dural sinus malformation and review the current literature relevant to this condition.

resultsWe present the case of a 33-year-old woman who had fetal dural sinus malformation containing thrombus diagnosed at morphology ultrasound and confirmed on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Serial ultrasounds demonstrated the sinus to reduce significantly in size over the course of the pregnancy. The woman delivered a healthy, term baby and there was no evidence of any neurological compromise in the early neonatal period. DISCUSSION: This case is in keeping with a recent systematic review, which identified 78 previous cases of fetal dural sinus thrombosis and reported good outcomes in most cases.

conclusionIt therefore appears reasonable, in most cases of isolated dural sinus malformation, to monitor the progress of the lesion and continue managing the pregnancy as usual.
