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

Acute mastoiditis is an infection of the air cells in the mastoid and is primarily seen in the pediatric population. This disease usually occurs after patients develop otitis media, which can result in acute mastoiditis as a complication. Most patients usually present with generalized symptoms of an infection; however, in some instances, cerebral venous thrombosis can occur. Such a rare complication has been described in children, although in rare instances, it can happen in adults. In fact, only a few cases of acute mastoiditis resulting in cerebral venous thrombosis have been reported in adults, but usually, such patients have some form of underlying thrombophilia. However, in this case, a thrombophilia workup was unremarkable. Here, a patient presented to the emergency department and developed cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to acute mastoiditis without evidence of thrombophilia.
