Non-Thrombotic Filling Defects in Cerebral Veins and Sinuses: When Normal Structures Mimic a Disease.
Review in Neurology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare and potentially critical cerebrovascular disease involving intracranial dural sinuses and veins. The diagnosis is a stepwise pathway starting from clinical suspicion and employing several neuroradiological techniques, mainly Computed Tomography (CT)-based and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based modalities. The neuroradiological findings, both in the diagnostic phase and in the follow-up phase, may provide some results at risk for misdiagnosis. Non-thrombotic filling defects of intracranial dural sinuses are among them, and the potential sources are artefactual and or anatomical (venous septa and arachnoid granulations). The misdiagnosis of these findings as CVT is potentially linked to dangerous consequences. A potential strategy to avoid this is to increase the knowledge about technical and anatomical reasons for non-thrombotic filling defects of intracranial dural sinuses and their imaging features. The main aim of this review is to address these issues, including the variability of the intracranial venous pathways, providing the solutions for overcoming the above-cited potential misdiagnosis of non-thrombotic filling defects as CVT.
