Snakebite Induced Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical medicine insights. Case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but highly fatal neurological condition mostly caused by prothrombotic conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome, factor V Leiden, and G20210A prothrombin polymorphism. Snake bites are a rare cause of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis that must be recognized and treated promptly to improve survival. Case presentation: We present a case of a 25-year-old male who developed headaches and seizures following a Viper snake bite. The diagnosis was made based on a magnetic resonance venogram (MRV) showing transverse sinus thrombosis with sigmoid sinus stenosis. Initially, the patient was treated with antivenom and supportive treatment for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). After the diagnosis of CVST, the patient was treated with rivaroxaban and levetiracetam. The patient improved within 1 week of treatment and was advised to follow up in 3 months. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is required if the patient presents with headaches, seizures, or abnormal vision following a snake bite. Early diagnosis and management can prevent further neurological damage.
