Right Infectious Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis Complicated by Multiple Cerebrovascular Events in the Right Hemisphere.

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
Bacterial meningitis and infectious cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) are both life-threatening central nervous system infections, often caused by sinusitis. While cerebrovascular complications are well-recognized in bacterial meningitis, their association with CST is rare. A 69-year-old man presented with a 19-day history of headache, followed by diplopia. On the day of admission, he developed left hemiparesis. On examination, he had mild right eye abduction impairment, dysarthria, mild left hemiparesis with left facial paralysis, and nuchal rigidity. At admission, brain computed tomography revealed sinusitis and a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the right Sylvian fissure, while catheter angiography demonstrated right CST without cerebral aneurysm. Subsequent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed cerebral infarction in the right lateral striate artery territory. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed elevated neutrophils, increased protein, and a decreased CSF/serum glucose ratio. The patient was treated with antimicrobial agents and heparin. Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed on day five after admission.
