Postpartum Ischemic Stroke As the First Manifestation of Late-Onset Preeclampsia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy hypertensive disorder characterized by arterial hypertension and multiorgan involvement, most frequently affecting the renal, hepatic, and neurological systems. While its typical manifestations include headaches, visual disturbances, and/or epigastric pain, atypical presentations may occur and may lead to life-threatening complications. We report the case of a 33-year-old multiparous woman who developed sudden left-sided hemiparesis, hemisensory loss, homonymous hemianopia, and rightward conjugate gaze deviation within 24 hours after a cesarean delivery. Blood pressure was 169/103 mmHg. Laboratory tests revealed moderate anemia, elevated LDH, low haptoglobin, and significant proteinuria (4.84 g/24h). Brain MRI demonstrated ischemic lesions in the right fronto-parieto-insular cortico-subcortical regions, consistent with a subacute infarction. The diagnosis of preeclampsia complicated by ischemic stroke was established. The patient was treated with acetylsalicylic acid, levetiracetam, and antihypertensive therapy (methyldopa and nicardipine). She progressively improved and achieved full neurological recovery within six weeks. Prophylaxis with low-dose aspirin and low molecular weight heparin was recommended for future pregnancies. This case highlights the importance of considering preeclampsia as a potential underlying cause of postpartum ischemic stroke. Early recognition of neurological symptoms and timely neuroimaging are critical to prevent severe maternal morbidity.
