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

Pituitary apoplexy is a rare condition that occurs due to acute haemorrhage in the pituitary gland and usually presents with features of acute hypopituitarism, visual defects and ophthalmoplegia. Pregnancy is one of the risk factors for pituitary apoplexy. Medical management is the first line of management in pregnancy irrespective of the gestational age. However, acute neuro-ophthalmological deterioration might warrant an urgent surgical decompression. Preoperative corticosteroids have dual benefits of providing hormonal replacement in the mother and also promoting fetal lung maturity in the offspring. Uterine contractions should be monitored and tocolysis provided as per requirements in a post-viable fetus.
