Point-of-Care Mastoid Fontanelle Ultrasonography for Diagnosis and Bedside Follow-up of Neonatal Transverse Sinus Thrombosis: A Case Report.

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
Neonatal cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare but severe condition. We report a preterm neonate presenting with apnea who subsequently developed focal neurological deficits. While conventional anterior fontanelle ultrasonography was unremarkable, point-of-care mastoid fontanelle ultrasonography demonstrated markedly reduced venous flow in the right transverse sinus, raising suspicion of thrombosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging with venography. Serial bedside mastoid fontanelle ultrasonography enabled noninvasive monitoring of thrombus regression during anticoagulant therapy, with findings concordant with MRI/MRV. This case highlights the diagnostic and follow-up value of point-of-care mastoid fontanelle ultrasonography as a complementary bedside tool in neonatal CVST.
