Pontine Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome in a Pregnant Woman With Sepsis and Wernicke's Encephalopathy.

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
A pregnant woman was brought to the emergency department looking starved and neglected. She was diagnosed with sepsis and started on intravenous antibiotics. She was also disoriented and hypernatremic. When the fetal heart sounds were found to be absent, the patient was diagnosed with septic miscarriage, which was managed by misoprostol, and after the expulsion of the products of conception, she was taken for evacuation of the uterus under anesthesia. Her brain CT was normal; however, due to her disorientation and altered mental status, a brain MRI was done, which revealed findings suggestive of Wernicke's encephalopathy and pontine osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS), for which she received intravenous fluids, high doses of vitamins B, C and D, as well as other supplements like calcium, magnesium, and zinc. She received nasogastric feeding as she had difficulty swallowing and physiotherapy for the weakness in her upper and lower limbs. The patient was stable on discharge with good oral intake and was able to mobilize with a wheelchair.
