Acute amnesia during pregnancy due to bilateral fornix infarction: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundStroke is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and puerperium. Isolated amnesia is a rare clinical symptom caused by ischemic stroke during pregnancy. We present the first documented case of acute amnesia during pregnancy due to bilateral fornix infarction. CASE SUMMARY: A 32-year-old nullipara presented at 35 wk of gestation with acute amnesia and headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed acute infarction in the bilateral anterior fornix. There was no evidence of causative abnormality after extensive work-up, including for vascular abnormality, cardiac disease, coagulopathy, and pregnancy-related conditions. The patient was diagnosed with cryptogenic stroke. Aspirin was administered immediately, and the patient recovered fully without recurrence.
conclusionAcute isolated amnesia due to stroke is rare during pregnancy. Early diagnosis of stroke and immediate treatment prevent neurologic sequelae.
