Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis Following the Use of Oral Contraceptive Pills in a Young Woman: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. 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
Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare and potentially life-threatening subtype of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis that often poses diagnostic challenges in emergency settings. We report a 34-year-old woman with a one-year history of oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use for polycystic ovary syndrome who presented with severe headache, seizures, decreased level of consciousness, and bilateral eyelid edema. Non-contrast brain computed tomography showed extensive intracerebral hemorrhage with findings suggestive of CST. Because of clinical instability, advanced venous imaging (CTV/MRV) could not be performed, and the diagnosis remained presumptive. The patient was treated with intravenous unfractionated heparin, intracranial pressure control and subsequent decompressive craniectomy because of progressive neurological deterioration. This case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion, prompt imaging, and early anticoagulation in patients with suspected CST and prothrombotic risk factors such as OCP use.
