1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 refers to complete or partial occlusion of the cerebral sinus/es or the feeding cortical veins, resulting in secondary effects of vascular congestion and focal or generalized neurological deficits. One of the important causes of venous thromboembolism is inherited thrombophilia. Our case is of a 34-year-old male with no previous comorbidity who presented to the emergency department with complaints of sudden onset left-sided weakness, seizures, and loss of consciousness for one day. Thrombosis of the vein of Trolard was diagnosed based on magnetic resonance venography (MRV) film. His MRI with MRV revealed an attenuated caliber of the vein of Trolard along with abnormal signal intensity in the right fronto-parietal region and the right falcine location. He was managed with intravenous medication, including levetiracetam and topiramate. Once the diagnosis was established, he was commenced on subcutaneous Enoxaparin. Consequently, his GCS improved from 6/15 to 15/15 within the first 24 hours, and he could move his limbs on the day of discharge without any significant disability.
