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

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiological entity characterized by variable neurological manifestations, primarily caused by pathophysiological changes related to cerebral autoregulation that result in radiologically evident vasogenic edema. It is usually associated with hypertensive states, but it is not exclusively related to those.  A healthy 18-year-old primigravid woman with no proteinuria or hypertension on admission presented with normotensive PRES. She had an intense diffuse headache that preceded a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Her neurological status deteriorated, and hypertension was detected afterward. Brain imaging revealed bilateral vasogenic edema in the occipital region. Magnesium sulfate and antihypertensive medications were administered. A cesarean section was performed, and her neurological symptoms subsequently improved, leading to discharge with no complications.  This case highlights the importance of suspecting PRES in pregnant patients even in the absence of preeclampsia.
