Cerebral venous thrombosis: A comprehensive narrative review.
Review in Brain circulation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cause of cerebral infarction, accounting for <1% of stroke cases worldwide. The pathophysiology of CVT is multifactorial, encompassing the direct effects of thrombosis, interference with the blood-brain barrier and development of cerebral edema. Several genetic and acquired risk factors of CVT have been identified, more recently this includes the pro-thrombotic effects of coronavirus disease of 2019 infection. CVT can present with wide variation of clinical characteristics, with headache being the most common clinical manifestation. Diagnosis is based on radiological imaging. The mainstay of CVT management is prompt initiation of anti-coagulation. Failure to recognize insidious symptoms of CVT, will lead to a delay in diagnosis and consequently treatment which eventually lead to significant complications, including neurological disability and death. The aim of this narrative review is to consolidate the existing knowledge on CVT, a rare condition with a challenging diagnosis and treatment.
