Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumor partially occluding the superior sagittal sinus: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 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
backgroundVenous sinus-occlusive mass lesions are infrequent and commonly include meningiomas, with Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumor (EBV-SMT) being much less common. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present a case report of a venous sinus-occlusive EBV-SMT in an adolescent immunosuppressed male after liver transplantation. LESSONS: The case highlights the importance of considering blood flow dynamics and the use of advanced imaging modalities including incident dark field microcirculation microscopy and indocyanine green video angiography when managing venous sinus-occlusive mass lesions. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a primary intracranial venous sinus EBV-SMT occurring in an HIV-negative patient after liver transplantation, and it illustrates management dilemmas of a sinus-occlusive tumor at a sensitive region of the superior sagittal sinus. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24759.
