Endovascular Treatment of Cerebral Vein Thrombosis: Safety and Effectiveness in the Thrombectomy Era.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 cause of stroke that tends to affect young people. Endovascular treatment (EVT) has not yet shown to be beneficial in CVT and is therefore actually only indicated as rescue therapy in severe and refractory cases for medical treatment. Clinical, neuroimaging, procedural and follow-up data were evaluated in order to define the safety and efficacy of EVT in the management of CVT between January 2016 and December 2022. Safety was assessed on the basis of recording adverse events. Functional outcomes (NIHSS, mRS) and neuroimaging were recorded at onset, at discharge and at a 6-month follow-up. Efficacy was assessed evaluating the recanalization rate at the end of the procedure. Twenty-one patients (17 female, 4 male, range 16-84 years) with CVT underwent EVT. Overall morbidity and mortality were both at 4.7%. Median NIHSS at the onset and at the discharge were, respectively, 10 and 2. Successful recanalization was achieved in 21/23 procedures (91.3%). Imaging follow-up (FUP) showed stable recanalization in all but one patient with successful recanalization. In 18/21 patients, a good clinical independence (mRS 0-2) was recorded at 6 months. Our study adds evidence on the safety and efficacy of endovascular techniques in the treatment of CVT.
