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

rationaleA first seizure can range from a fleeting subjective experience or a twitch (myoclonic jerk) through to a tonic-clonic convulsion. A first seizure occurred in a parturient during cesarean section is very rare. We describe the case of a parturient who suffered seizure when the fetus was delivered. PATIENT CONCERNS: Our patient is a 31-year-old parturient with a first seizure during cesarean section. DIAGNOSES: Seizure.

interventionsThe patient received supportive therapy to maintain oxygen supply and propofol was administered to terminate seizure during cesarean section. OUTCOMES: after therapy, the patient regained full consciousness and normal spontaneous respiration. She had no recall of the seizure attack. The post-operative recovery was uneventful. LESSONS: Symptoms during seizure are very important to diagnose. It will be both harmful to mother and the fetus, when the pregnant woman suffers seizure during pregnancy or cesarean delivery. In this situation, supportive therapy need to be immediately initiate and propofol may be the most suitable drug to terminate seizure during cesarean delivery.
