Virus-Induced Hypercoagulable State: A Mythical Cause for Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis in an Adult Male.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chickenpox is a common childhood disease that presents with erythematous rashes. In adults, varicella can cause complications with significant morbidity. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a life-threatening condition if not promptly treated. Here, we report a rare case of CVST complicating primary varicella-zoster virus infection. We present a case of a 34-year-old immunocompetent male with diffuse maculopapular rash and acute neurological deficit. Magnetic resonance venography revealed acute thrombosis involving the superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus, right transverse sinus, and confluence of sinuses. While arterial infarcts are well-known, venous thrombosis is less documented, particularly during active infection. The underlying mechanism may involve a hypercoagulable state induced by the infection or direct viral invasion of the venous endothelium, leading to endothelial damage and subsequent thrombosis.
