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

Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is a chronic cerebrovascular disorder characterized by occlusion or stenosis of the internal carotid arteries with the formation of abnormal collateral vascular networks. Moreover, the development of MMS, which is a distinct category from "moyamoya disease," is attributed to the underlying disease, while some cases of MMS related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been previously reported. Herein, we present the case of a 29-year-old Japanese woman with SLE in whom intracranial hemorrhage ascribable to MMS developed during pregnancy. Craniotomy was performed to remove hematoma, and prednisolone, tacrolimus, and hydroxychloroquine were consecutively administered. She ultimately achieved remission and childbearing without the relapse of cerebrovascular event. To our knowledge, this is the first report of MMS associated with SLE in pregnancy. Through reviewing published English articles and our case, it was suggested that the pathogenesis of SLE is implicated in the development of moyamoya vasculopathy leading to cerebrovascular events. Moreover, pregnancy may affect the bleeding from the fragile collateral vessel wall.
