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

Most women who develop eclampsia have preceding preeclampsia (proteinuria and hypertension). This is especially true for otherwise healthy nulliparous women. However, recently, there has been a paradigm shift in this philosophy. There is mounting evidence that preeclampsia can develop even in the absence of proteinuria and hypertension and that eclampsia itself may be the initial manifestation of hypertensive disorder during pregnancy. We report a rare case of a 24-year-old primigravida at 30 weeks of gestation who presented with new-onset generalised tonic-clonic seizures without prior hypertension or proteinuria in her antenatal records. A thorough workup revealed this presentation to be the initial feature of atypical eclampsia. She was managed appropriately and discharged with an excellent outcome. This experience highlights some of the difficulties in managing a case of atypical eclampsia, namely, erratic onset and an unpredictable course, all of which interfere with timely diagnosis and treatment and contribute to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
