Spinal cord injury during early pregnancy: Problems in the course of rehabilitation and infant care, a case report.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextSpinal cord injury (SCI) sustained during pregnancy may be dangerous to the mother and her child. The risk is associated both with necessary diagnostic work-up and with the therapeutic process (radiographic investigations, surgical procedures, anesthesia, spinal shock, SCI complications, delivery). However, infant care is an enormous challenge for a woman with motor disability. The authors present a case report concerning the problems of treatment, rehabilitation and infant care in an SCI woman. To our knowledge, it is the first paper to describe SCI at such an early stage of gestation (2.5 weeks of gestational age/WGA).
findingsA 20-year old paraplegic woman after SCI was pregnant. The period of diagnostics (MRI, X-ray), surgery and rehabilitation was associated with minor complications for the mother and no complications for the child. At discharge from the rehabilitation center the patient presented Th11 paraplegia (AIS-C), 24.5 WGA, and she could walk using a walker with a knee-ankle-foot-orthosis on the right and an ankle-foot-orthosis on the left lower limb. She delivered at 38 WGA via cesarean section (girl, birth weight 2960 g, length 50 cm, APGAR = 9 and 10). Bathing the baby and walking with it were the main problems of the post-delivery period.
conclusionsFactors potentially threatening the mother and child's health in SCI during pregnancy do not always contribute to the complications of the clinical status and health of the child. Comprehensive approach to the treatment, rehabilitation and care of pregnant women with SCI facilitates the course of pregnancy, delivery and child care.
