Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Following Lumbar Puncture.

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 sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare and potentially fatal condition. It is believed to be one of the rare complications of lumbar puncture (LP), however other causes and risk factors should be considered and ruled out. Diagnosis can be challenging after an LP as it can mimic low pressure or post dural puncture. We present a 23-year-old patient diagnosed with CVST following a diagnostic lumbar puncture, in the absence of other risk factors. The patient presented with a persistent headache that was initially attributed to low CSF pressure, as well as a transient episode of right hemi-body paresthesia. Neuroimaging including contrasted MRI with venography confirmed the diagnosis. The patient had negative hypercoagulable evaluation and was placed on anticoagulation on discharge. Our report highlights the importance of considering CVST in refractory headaches after LP and the value of neuroimaging when indicated.
