Otogenic Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis in Children: A Narrative Review.
Review in Neurology and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 entity that remains a diagnostic challenge due to various clinical manifestations and a wide variety of causative agents. Local infections, such as acute (AOM) or chronic otitis media, can play a role in the pathogenesis of CVT. The proximity of the tympanic cavity and temporal bone air cells to the dural venous sinuses predisposes them to secondary thrombosis. The release of inflammatory cytokines and activation of the coagulation pathway in the middle ear space in response to infection may trigger the thrombotic mechanism in venous sinuses of the central nervous system. There is no consensus in the literature concerning the treatment of otogenic cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Both the extent of the surgery and the use of anticoagulants are disputable. The aim of the study was to provide a thorough analysis of the literature concerning CVST in patients with AOM and acute mastoiditis (AM). The current surgical and conventional treatment strategies are presented. Special attention has been attached to the predisposing factors, the extent of the surgery, and the role of anticoagulants in the treatment of septic otogenic CVST.
