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

A 23-year-old low-risk primiparous patient, who was 35 weeks pregnant, presented in the emergency department after collapsing at home. Her observations showed severe hypertension with proteinuria. On examination, she had left hemiparesis and was aphasic. Fetal monitoring was reassuring. Initial CT did not reveal any evidence of intracranial pathology. She was stabilised and delivered via emergency caesarean section. Subsequent MRI and CT showed an acute right-sided infarct involving the right middle cerebral artery territory, frontal and parietal regions, and increased mass effect. She was transferred to the nearest neurosurgical centre where she was conservatively managed and discharged home 3 weeks later for continuing rehabilitation. She achieved a good recovery.
