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 a rare but serious cause of maternal morbidity. It most frequently occurs during late pregnancy and puerperium, and occurs due to pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability. The present report documents a 37-year-old multiparous woman diagnosed with acute superior sagittal sinus thrombosis involving multiple dural sinuses at 6 weeks gestation. The patient was managed with therapeutic low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin 100 mg twice daily) under multidisciplinary supervision throughout pregnancy; at 33 weeks, recurrent headaches and vomiting occurred, but imaging showed no new thrombosis. Delivery by elective cesarean section at 38 weeks resulted in a healthy neonate. Postpartum anticoagulation was transitioned to apixaban for 3 months with complete neurological recovery. Early diagnosis, appropriate anticoagulation and multidisciplinary management are key to favorable maternal and fetal outcomes in CVST during pregnancy. The present case report contributes to the literature that sagittal sinus thrombosis can present in early pregnancy with symptoms, such as headache and vomiting, which overlap with the normal symptoms of pregnancy; therefore, a high index of suspicion should be kept in mind.
