Amaurosis Fugax in Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Vexed Hurdle in a Postpartum Primigravida Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In this case report, we highlight a case of a 24-year-old primigravida who suffered a sudden and painless loss of vision and headache in the immediate postpartum period. Vision loss was transient and remarkable. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed vasogenic edema in parieto-occipital white matter, suggestive of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a clinical-radiological entity, having hemodynamic catastrophe also known as reversible posterior cerebral edema syndrome. It tends to occur during pregnancy complicated by eclampsia. Hypertension and a hypercoagulable tendency tend to engulf the entire homeostasis into its deadly clutches sending the autoregulation into a frizzy. It presents with a gamut of red flags like headache, seizures, encephalopathy, amaurosis fugax, cortical visual disturbances, and even blindness. Clinical improvement was seen with supportive treatment in this patient. Thus, timely diagnosis and intervention help reverse the dire consequences.
