Clinical features of patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis at plateau areas.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveCerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is believed to be associated with high-altitude exposure and has worse clinical prognosis in plateau areas than in plain areas, although this needs to be further verified. This retrospective study aims to compare the clinical differences of patients with CVST in plateau and plain areas and further ascertain the role of high-altitude exposure in the etiology of aggravating predisposition toward CVST.
methodsTwenty-four symptomatic CVST patients occurring at plateau areas (altitude ≥ 4000 m), in corresponding with 24 CVST patients occurring at plain areas (altitude ≤ 1000 m), were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria from June 2020 to December 2021. The collected data and compared parameters include clinical features, neuroimaging findings, hematology profile, lipid profile, and coagulation profile within 24 h of hospital admission, as well as the treatment method and final outcome.
resultsThere were no obvious differences of demographic characteristics, including gender, age, height, and weight between patients with CVST in plateau and plain areas, as well as medical history, neuroimaging findings, treatment protocols, and clinical outcome (all p > .05). Compared to patients with CVST at plain areas, time before hospital admission was longer and heartbeat was slower in patients with CVST at plateau areas (all p < .05). More importantly, elevated red blood cells counts, hemoglobin level, and altered coagulation function were found in patients with CVST at plateau areas (all p < .05).
conclusionCVST patients in plateau areas presented with altered clinical characteristics, altered coagulation function, and aggravated predisposition toward venous thromboembolism compared with CVST patients in plain areas. Future prospective studies will be needed to further elucidate the influences of a high altitude on the pathogenesis of CVST.
