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

Background: Hemorrhagic stroke during pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening condition, commonly resulting from ruptured cerebrovascular malformations or aneurysms that lead to intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This case demonstrates favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes following rapid multidisciplinary coordination and timely delivery, adding valuable insight into decision-making in late-pregnancy intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Case Description: We report a case of a 39-year-old woman at 35 weeks of gestation who presented with sudden-onset neurological symptoms and was diagnosed with spontaneous ICH. On admission, a multidisciplinary team including obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and neurologists was involved. Due to the lesion's anatomical distribution, endovascular intervention was deemed unsuitable. An emergency cesarean section under general anesthesia was performed to optimize both maternal and fetal outcomes. Postoperatively, the patient was closely monitored, and both maternal and neonatal outcomes were favorable. Conclusions: Early recognition and an individualized, multidisciplinary approach are essential to improving outcomes for both mother and fetus. This case highlights that, in selected scenarios, prompt delivery combined with conservative neurocritical management can lead to successful results and contribute to the limited body of literature guiding care in such complex situations.
