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 thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon occurrence, but it carries significant morbidity.1 CVT symptoms overlap with other common emergency department conditions, and it requires a specific neuroimaging for accurate detection, making this diagnosis a significant challenge for emergency clinicians. We present a case of a 20-year-old postpartum woman with a history of a post-dural puncture headache following a spinal block with worsening headache and disequilibrium. She was found to have a cerebral venous thrombosis on non-contrast head CT and CT venogram of the head. Her course was uncomplicated with appropriate symptom control while on anticoagulation. We review her CT imaging findings and provide a brief review of the current recommendations and literature on CVT. Topics: Cerebral venous thrombosis, empty delta sign, CT venogram, headache, dural sinus thrombosis.
