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

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is rare in children (0.5%-1.0% of pediatric strokes) and uncommonly associated with closed traumatic brain injury. A 7-year-old girl presented with neurological symptoms following a mild closed craniocerebral injury. Early CT imaging revealed subtle findings that were initially overlooked, leading to delayed diagnosis. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) confirmed the diagnosis of CVST. The patient was successfully treated with enoxaparin bridging followed by rivaroxaban, achieving complete thrombus resolution without bleeding complications. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of posttraumatic CVST in children, where initial imaging signs may be overlooked. It underscores the importance of vigilant imaging interpretation in pediatric brain trauma with persistent symptoms and demonstrates the efficacy and safety of novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs), specifically rivaroxaban, as a therapeutic option in this population.
