Post-partum cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: A case report.
Article in Qatar medical journal, 2024. 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
introductionCerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare and life-threatening condition that may be encountered during pregnancy and puerperium. The diagnosis of CVST is a challenge because of its varied presentation. CASE REPORT: A 28-year-old woman presented with headache, projectile vomiting, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures 10 days after delivery by cesarean section. She had an uneventful antenatal period of 38 weeks of gestation. High clinical suspicion and the availability of magnetic resonance venography helped in making a diagnosis of CVST. She was successfully managed with a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and anti-epileptic therapy with no residual complications. DISCUSSION: Pregnancy induces several prothrombotic changes in the coagulation system that predispose to CVST. These changes persist for six to eight weeks after birth. Infection and cesarean section are the additional risk factors for CVST during puerperium. The symptoms of CVST depend on the sinuses and veins involved, raised intracranial pressure, and the extent of brain parenchymal injury.
conclusionGreater awareness of the disease and the availability of imaging modalities have contributed to the early diagnosis and favorable outcomes in these cases. LMWH is the main stay of treatment in this disease.
