New-onset movement disorder in the immediate postpartum period.

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
This case report describes a woman who developed involuntary, uncoordinated movements of her face and limbs following a spontaneous vaginal delivery, complicated by postpartum haemorrhage. Using systematic assessment with multidisciplinary team input, a differential diagnosis was proposed and relevant investigations were undertaken. Atypical eclamptic or generalised seizures were excluded clinically and neuroimaging ruled out an intracranial vascular event such as stroke or venous sinus thrombosis. Local anaesthetic systemic toxicity was managed empirically with intravenous lipid emulsion and intravenous fluids. A diagnosis of drug-induced dyskinesia was made, most likely secondary to ondansetron, with which dystonias and myoclonus have been described. This woman's symptoms were transient and resolved within 2 hours.This case presented a complex differential diagnosis, highlighting the paucity of guidance available. We propose a diagnostic algorithm to aid in the identification of acute involuntary movements in pregnancy and the puerperium.
