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

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) may present with different clinical symptoms including visual disturbance, headache, seizures and impaired consciousness. Brain MRI shows oedema, usually involving the posterior subcortical regions. Triggering factors include hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The mechanism underlying PRES is under debate, but endothelial dysfunction is implicated. Treatment goals of PRES are gradual blood pressure (BP) lowering to avoid sudden hypoperfusion of vital organs and prevention and management of seizures. PRES usually has a favorable prognosis, but delayed diagnosis and treatment may lead to cardiovascular morbidity, mortality or irreversible neurological deficits.
