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 systematically reviewed case reports of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), and investigated the characteristics of PRES in pregnant Japanese women and the clinical relevance of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) in pregnant women with PRES. Articles were collected using the PubMed/Medline and Ichushi-Web databases. This review was ultimately conducted on 121 articles (162 patients). The clinical characteristics of PRES, individual sites of PRES lesions, edema types, and clinical characteristics of RCVS in PRES cases were examined. The most common individual site of PRES lesion was the occipital lobe (83.3%), followed by the basal ganglia, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, brain stem, cerebellum, temporal lobe, thalamus, and splenium corpus callosum (47.5, 42.6, 24.7, 16.1, 9.3, 5.6, 4.3, and 0.0%, respectively). Edema types in 79 cases with PRES were mainly the vasogenic edema type (91.1%), with very few cases of the cytotoxic edema type (3.8%) and mixed type (5.1%). Among 25 PRES cases with RCVS, RCVS was not strongly suspected in 17 (68.0%) before magnetic resonance angiography. RCVS was observed at the same time as PRES in 13 cases (approximately 50%), and between days 1 and 14 after the onset of PRES in the other 12. These results suggest that the basal ganglia is a frequent site of PRES lesions in pregnant women. RCVS may occur at or after the onset of PRES, even if there are no symptoms to suggest RCVS.
