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

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune mediated peripheral neurologic disease characterized by symmetric, ascending progressive limb weakness and paresthesia. It is a rare and diagnostically challenging condition. Pregnancy-induced CIDP is especially rare, with few case series describing treatment courses, pregnancy outcomes and complications. This report concerns a case of a 20-year-old primigravida with CIDP who was initially misdiagnosed with bilateral Bell's palsy. Symptoms progressively worsened to include ascending limb weakness, allodynia, urinary retention and fecal incontinence; she later met criteria for CIDP. Her pregnancy went on to be complicated by prolonged hospitalization and pre-eclampsia; after induction of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, she developed acute pulmonary embolism and HELLP syndrome, and required emergent C-section delivery. The diagnosis, treatment and management of severe pregnancy complications associated with CIDP are described.
