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

Super-refractory status epilepticus is a rare medical and neurological emergency due to the high mortality and morbidity associated with this condition. Furthermore, there is very little data regarding its incidence, etiology, and management in the pregnant population with super-refractory status epilepticus. The treatment of super-refractory status epilepticus during pregnancy is specifically a major challenge as there are limited available therapeutic options due to the well-established teratogenicity of most antiepileptic drugs and the unknown safety profile of some of the anesthetics commonly used for seizure control. We report a case of successfully treated super-refractory status epilepticus in a 29-year-old, 26 weeks pregnant female who after an emergent delivery and prolonged exposure to multiple antiepileptic drugs recovered full neurological function.
