Neurologic infections during pregnancy.
Review in Handbook of clinical neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Neurologic infections during pregnancy represent a significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Immunologic alterations during pregnancy increase the susceptibility of the premature brain to damage. This chapter summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations in the pregnant woman and the infant, and the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the major viral, parasitic, and bacterial infections known to affect pregnancy. These organisms include herpes virus, parvovirus, cytomegalovirus, varicella, rubella, Zika virus, toxoplasmosis, malaria, group B streptococcus, listeriosis, syphilis, and tuberculosis. There is an emphasis on the important differences in diagnosis, treatment, and fetal outcome between trimesters. An additional overview is provided on the spectrum of neurologic sequelae of an affected infant, which ranges from developmental delay to hydrocephalus and seizures.
