Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Complicated by Bilateral Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in an Older Adult: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare cause of headaches, sometimes presenting atypically in older adults. We report the case of a woman in her early 70s with chronic frontal headaches, gait imbalance, and transient hand weakness. Initial computed tomography (CT) of the head suggested sinusitis, but venous imaging revealed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), prompting anticoagulation with rivaroxaban. Readmission for facial droop showed bilateral subdural hygromas. Multidisciplinary assessment identified SIH as the likely primary condition, with CVST as a complication. Anticoagulation was transitioned to warfarin. The patient recovered fully with resolved CVST on imaging. This case highlights the importance of early multidisciplinary collaboration and clinical vigilance in establishing a timely diagnosis and achieving a favourable outcome in suspected SIH.
