Multiple Dural Venous Sinus Thromboses in a Young Female Presenting With Refractory Headaches.
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
Dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) is a condition that affects the venous sinuses of the brain. Clotting in this vasculature can lead to the presentation of headache, seizures, stroke-like symptoms, and other neurologic deficits. Proper investigation requires clinicians to understand and explore Virchow's triad and the elements that lead to a thrombus. Herein is the case of a 26-year-old female with a history of refractory headaches attributed to migraines who presented to the ER with altered mentation. Sudden unexplained seizure-like activity presented, which warranted further workup. Further investigation by analyzing serum antibodies, inheritable causes of hypercoagulability, screening for infections, and using advanced imaging like magnetic resonance venography confirmed the presence of multiple DVSTs in the peripheral straight, sagittal, and occipital sinuses. Anticoagulant heparin was administered during hospitalization, and once treated, the patient was discharged to follow up on an outpatient basis with apixaban for continuity of care.
