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

rationaleEclampsia, an obstetric emergency frequently seen in pregnant or puerperal women, is a risk factor for posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Most cases of eclampsia occur postpartum. We report a woman with PRES associated with eclampsia 10 weeks post-delivery, the latest onset ever reported. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 23-year-old healthy woman presented headache and nausea 10 weeks after delivery. Two days later, she generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Her brain MRI presented the foci which is typical of PRES. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed as PRES associated with eclampsia.

interventionsThe patient received levetiracetam and edaravone. OUTCOMES: Her clinical course was uneventful and she fully recovered without neurological complications LESSONS:: The possible diagnosis of late onset postpartum eclampsia, even weeks post-delivery, should be considered, since initiation of early treatment averts severe complications and decreases mortality. Sharing our experience may increase awareness of PRES induced by late-onset postpartum eclampsia.
