[Epilepsy and pregnancy].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRegarding treatment of women of childbearing potential with epilepsy, several aspects of family planning and desire to have children have to be taken into account.
objectiveOverview of current data on mutual implications of epileptic seizures, antiseizure medication (ASM), pregnancy and child development.
methodReview of the current literature, discussion and presentation of resulting treatment recommendations.
resultsMany ASMs bear the potential for clinically relevant interactions with both contraceptives and altered concentrations of sexual hormones and modified pharmacokinetics during pregnancy. All ASMs show an increased risk for congenital malformations; however, due to seizure-related risks for the mother and child effective ASM treatment during pregnancy is crucial.
conclusionWhen considering the special aspects of consultation and treatment of women of childbearing potential with epilepsy most pregnancies are uncomplicated.
