Case report: Cerebral sinus vein thrombosis in VEXAS syndrome.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, and somatic) syndrome is a newly described hemato-inflammatory acquired monogenic entity that presents in adulthood. One of the main features of VEXAS syndrome is a high venous thromboembolism (VTE) burden, with approximately 30-40% experiencing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and a lower incidence of pulmonary embolism at approximately 10%. To date, VEXAS syndrome has not been associated with rarer forms of VTE such as cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (CSVT) and Budd-Chiari syndrome, which are well-recognized vascular manifestations in Behcet's disease, another autoinflammatory vasculitic disease. Herein, we describe a case of acute severe extensive and fatal CSVT in a patient with VEXAS syndrome. The event occurred during a period of apparently quiescent inflammatory status, while the patient was receiving tocilizumab and a low dose of glucocorticoids. Despite treatment with anticoagulation, high-dose glucocorticoids, endovascular thrombectomy, and intracranial pressure-lowering agents, the patient suffered severe neurologic damage and ultimately succumbed to the condition 3 weeks after the onset of CSVT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of CVST in a patient with VEXAS syndrome.
