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
Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the formation of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses or cerebral veins. CVT presents a diverse array of clinical symptoms, making its diagnosis challenging. Understanding regional variations and specific risk factors associated with CVT is crucial, especially in low-resource settings like Somalia, where epidemiological data is limited and healthcare resources are scarce. Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical and risk factors associated with CVT in patients presenting to Mogadishu Somali-Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan Research and Training Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study involving 68 patients diagnosed with CVT between January 2019 and December 2023. Data included demographic information, clinical presentations, risk factors, and anatomical thrombosis locations. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for analysis. Results: The majority of patients were female (86.76%) and aged 20-40 years (86.76%). Significant risk factors included the postpartum period (77.94%) and pregnancy, with statistical analysis showing strong associations between CVT and the postpartum period (χ² = 62.96, p < 0.0001) and pregnancy (χ² = 5.21, p = 0.022). Postpartum CVT was linked to thrombosis location (p = 0.025). Headache was the predominant symptom (98.53%), followed by altered mental status (83.82%), focal motor deficits (80.88%), and seizures (70.59%). The superior sagittal sinus was the most commonly involved site (57.35%). Conclusion: This study emphasizes the postpartum period as a significant risk factor for CVT in Somalia and highlights the need for clinical vigilance and early intervention strategies. Larger, multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings.
