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

The comorbid presentation of anti-NMDAR encephalitis with ovarian teratomas was first described in 2005. The incidence of anti-NMDAR encephalitis during pregnancy is rare, with 16 cases reported to date. We describe the case of a 31-year-old nulliparous woman who presented with status epilepticus in early pregnancy and was subsequently diagnosed with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. The inter-hospital transfer was required for higher-level care and ventilation. A comprehensive work-up identified anti-NMDAR antibodies in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Pelvic imaging showed a unilateral ovarian cyst, proceeding to right salpingo-oophorectomy and cystectomy of a mature cystic teratoma. Post-operatively, she was admitted to the intensive care unit for two months. Immunotherapy was commenced, and clinical status improved. She recovered well and at 35 weeks and 2 days of gestation delivered a live male infant via uncomplicated caesarean section. We discuss the diagnostic steps and multi-disciplinary management to care for this pregnant patient.
