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

backgroundPregnancy/puerperium cranial venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is rare, mainly occurring in perinatal/late pregnancy, and less frequently in early pregnancy. None has been reported after early spontaneous abortion. CASE REPORT: This study reports a case of CVST following early pregnancy spontaneous abortion in a patient with no known risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, coagulopathy, or antiphospholipid syndrome. Following aggressive endovascular thrombectomy and thrombolytic treatment with 300,000 units of urokinase administered through a catheter, the patient experienced marked improvement in headache symptoms, with nausea and vomiting completely resolving. Four days later, a repeat magnetic resonance venography scan demonstrated successful recanalization of the intracranial venous sinuses, accompanied by a notable decrease in D-dimer levels upon reassessment.

conclusionFor young patients with early pregnancy bleeding, comprehensive coagulation function and D-dimer tests could be conducted. Even after a spontaneous abortion, if the patient presents with symptoms such as headache, vomiting, or visual impairment, the possibility of pregnancy-associated CVST should be considered, and an immediate head CT or MRI should be arranged. In cases complicated by cerebral hemorrhage, endovascular thrombectomy and thrombolysis can be performed.
