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 30-year-old woman (gravida 3, para 1 + 1), with a previous uncomplicated pregnancy and vaginal delivery, was diagnosed with both type 1 Arnold-Chiari malformation and symptomatic multi-level lumbar disc prolapse in her inter-pregnancy period. During this index pregnancy, she experienced progressively worsening occipital headaches radiating to both arms, severe low back pain radiating to both legs and weakness in both legs. She had no urinary or bowel symptoms. She was successfully managed through pregnancy by a multidisciplinary team that included obstetricians, orthopedic and neurosurgeons, obstetric anesthetists and physiotherapists. She had an uncomplicated cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. As far as we can tell, this is the first report of both conditions in a pregnant woman.
