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

backgroundPregnancy and postpartum are critical periods for patients with neurological complications. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcome of pregnant women with neurological conditions. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study reviewed pregnant women with neurological signs and symptoms, who were registered in the Medical Care Monitoring Center (MCMC) database of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences 2013-15. A questionnaire was designed to record each patient's information including demographic variables, past medical history, clinical presentation, obstetric profile, and fetal/maternal outcomes.

resultsTotally, 332 mothers were registered in the database. The main neurological complaints in our population were headache, seizure, unilateral neurological symptoms, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disorder, and brain tumor. More than half of the patients (54%) experienced headache during the pregnancy and postpartum period.

conclusionEvaluating the neurological disorders separately, based on the time of symptom onset indicates the importance of follow-up of mothers during peripartum. Our findings suggest that decisions for pregnancy in women with neurological disorders should be based on risks outweighing for the mother and the fetus, particularly regarding the pharmacological side effects.
