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

We describe the management of a 39-year-old woman with intractable focal epilepsy whose condition deteriorated during pregnancy and who required emergency neurosurgery. A literature search did not identify any previous reports of epilepsy surgery in pregnancy. To our knowledge, this is the first time surgery was planned and executed in rapid order with a successful outcome, without obstetrical or surgical complications and seizure freedom achieved. The value of rapid communication between established women's health advanced nurse practitioner clinics, the multidisciplinary Epilepsy Surgery Group and specialist Obstetrical Epilepsy service is highlighted. A care cycle for pregnant women with refractory epilepsy is proposed.
