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

Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon subtype of stroke, and the role of D-dimer and fibrinogen in early diagnosis of CVST has been studied with varying results. The present study aims to study the role of the combination of D-dimer and fibrinogen in early diagnosis of acute CVST. Methods: Forty consecutive confirmed acute CVST cases admitted at a tertiary care center were recruited for the study. D-dimer and fibrinogen were assessed by a rapid semiquantitative latex agglutination assay. Results: Out of the 40 CVST patients, 21 (52.50%) were females. The mean age of the patients was 37.58 years ± 19.17 years. Common clinical features were headache ( Conclusion: The combination of D-dimer and fibrinogen testing may aid in an early diagnosis of acute CVST and in better management.
