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

Pregnancy is the pro-thrombotic state. The objective of this report is to highlight the rare occurance of postpartum cavernous sinus thrombosis associated with eclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus, emphasizing its clinical presentation. A 25-year-old Muslim female came with the complaint of headache,post auricular and right parietal region on 8th day post-partum. She had a history of postpartum eclampsia and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus for which she was treated with magnesium sulfate and oral hypoglycaemic agents respectively. MRV showed a filling defect in right transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus, and internal jugular vein. She was then admitted to the ward and was treated with heparin and antibiotics. She was then discharged on oral rivaroxaban. As pregnancy is itself a state of hyper-coagulable state, there seems to be a significant thrombosis risk. Hence clinicians should be aware of the possible thrombotic disorder in the background of this vignette.
