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

purposeThe Basal Vein of Rosenthal (BVR) is one of the most stable intracranial veins. Despite this, several anomalies have been described and are related to its embryological origin as a longitudinal vein generated by the anastomosis between different segments. The anatomical variability also accounts for the presence and activation of different functional drainage pathways, both anteriorly and posteriorly, as well as with anastomoses with the infratentorial venous system

methodsWe are presenting an incidental finding in a patient undergoing brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnostic work-up of endolymphatic hydrops. The left BVR was the main location of anomalies including the hypoplasia of the first (telencephalic) segment, ad its afferents, and the presence of an additional drainage via the lateral mesencephalic vein (LMV) to the cavernous sinus and the transverse-sygmoid sinus (via a persistent oblique occipital sinus) besides the Galenic system.

conclusionsAlthough being stable, several anomalies of the BVR have been described, and the present case adds to the previous reports a combination of anomalies with hypoplasia of the first segment, prominent LMV and the drainage though a persistent oblique occipital sinus.
