Epidemiology and Management of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare type of stroke that may cause an intracranial hypertension syndrome as well as focal neurological deficits due to venous infarcts. MRI with venography is the method of choice for diagnosis, and treatment with anticoagulants should be promptly started. CVT incidence has increased in COVID-19-infected patients due to a hypercoagulability state and endothelial inflammation. CVT following COVID-19 vaccination could be related to vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a rare but severe complication that should be promptly identified because of its high mortality rate. Platelet count, D-dimer and PF4 antibodies should be dosed. Treatment with non-heparin anticoagulants and immunoglobulin could improve recuperation. Development of headache associated with seizures, impaired consciousness or focal signs should raise immediate suspicion of CVT. In patients who received a COVID-19 adenovirus-vector vaccine presenting thromboembolic events, VITT should be suspected and rapidly treated. Nevertheless, vaccination benefits clearly outweigh risks and should be continued.
