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

Purpose: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Its onset and relapse are closely associated with pregnancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risks of NMOSD in the perinatal period. Patients and Methods: A 35-year-old woman, gravida 4, para 1, at 21 Results: The patient was diagnosed with NMOSD five years prior to the current pregnancy, following an abortion. She had been treated with pulse steroids and plasma exchange at the time of diagnosis. She had a previous normal full-term delivery. Eight months before the onset of NMOSD, she had an induced abortion. She then experienced a relapse of her condition, complicated by embryonic arrest. During the current pregnancy, she had uneventful antenatal visits and was maintained on corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) with no neurologic sequelae. She gave birth to a healthy male infant and her condition remained stable at follow-up. Conclusion: Women with NMOSD should consult with both neurologists and obstetricians to reduce the risk of pregnancy-related attacks.
