Pearls and Pitfalls in the Magnetic Resonance Diagnosis of Dural Sinus Thrombosis: A Comprehensive Guide for the Trainee Radiologist.
Review in Journal of clinical imaging science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 sinus thrombosis (DST) is a potentially fatal neurological condition that can be reversed with early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Non-enhanced CT scan is often the first imaging investigation in patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms; however, its poor sensitivity in detecting DST is a major drawback. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging offers multiple advantages such as excellent contrast resolution and unenhanced venography possibilities, making it the mainstay in the non-invasive diagnosis of DST. However, physiological variations, evolution of thrombi, and incorrect selection/application of MR techniques can lead to false positive and false negative interpretations impacting patient management and outcome. This article discusses the MR techniques useful to diagnose DST and describes pitfalls, with troubleshooting methods, to ensure an accurate diagnosis. We have used multiple diagrammatic illustrations and MR images to highlight pertinent take-home points and to serve as an easy guide for day-to-day clinical practice.
