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
backgroundWe report a case of a pregnant woman who presented posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) without pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or any other common causes of PRES.
methodsA 32-year-old primigravida at 25 weeks and 4 days of gestation was admitted to neurology department because of suffering intermittent headache, hearing loss, memory loss with mental and behavioral disorder, and blurred vision for 1 month. She was healthy before without hypertension, migraine, or other medical or family history. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed diffuse symmetrical high-signal intensity lesions in the white matter, medulla oblongata, without enhancement. After completely multidisciplinary discussion and with the family of the patient, she accepted termination of pregnancy.
resultsAfter the operation, the patient improved symptomatically. The follow-up MRI showed a decrease of the white matter lesion after 3 months and complete recovery at postoperative 6 months. The patient returned to work without any neurological sequelae.
conclusionIt might widen the cause spectrum of PRES that pregnancy itself without pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or any other known risk factors could cause PRES. Pregnancy with acute or subacute leukoencephalopathy should be screened related causes and risk factors carefully. Hormonal fluctuations during the pregnancy might account for pregnancy-related PRES.
