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: Systemic anticoagulation has been the standard treatment for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT). Although endovascular treatments, including mechanical thrombectomy (MT), have been reported to be effective for CVT, no clear evidence has been established. Case Description: A 51-year-old woman who had been administered oral contraceptive pills was transferred to our hospital with altered consciousness and disorientation. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a hyperdense signal in the straight sinus (StS), and CT angiography revealed a defect in the basal vein and StS, leading to a diagnosis of StS thrombosis. Although systemic anticoagulation through unfractionated heparin was performed, her neurological condition deteriorated, and venous ischemia was observed on CT the next day. She then underwent MT. Partial recanalization was achieved with an aspiration catheter and a stent retriever. Her neurological condition improved tremendously, and venous ischemia was reversed following MT. She was discharged 3 weeks later without neurological deficits with oral anticoagulant. Conclusion: This was a relatively rare case with CVT confined to StS. Immediate combined MT for StS thrombosis can improve venous circulation, make the venous ischemia reversible, and improve patient outcomes, even if it results in partial recanalization.
