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

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) typically involves parieto-occipital regions but rarely presents with extensive central involvement and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). We report a rare case of atypical PRES with extensive central involvement and IVH in a patient with eclampsia, emphasizing diagnostic challenges and favorable outcomes. Initial CT showed IVH in all ventricles and bilateral basal ganglia hypodensities. Following emergency cesarean section, brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed typical parieto-occipital vasogenic edema along with atypical involvement of the pons, midbrain, bilateral basal ganglia, and thalami, consistent with a central variant of PRES. Susceptibility-weighted imaging showed microhemorrhages in the basal ganglia, while magnetic resonance venography excluded cerebral venous thrombosis. Conservative management with strict blood pressure control and seizure prophylaxis resulted in complete radiological resolution on follow-up imaging, and the patient was discharged without neurological deficits. Prompt recognition of atypical PRES patterns prevents misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions despite severe radiological findings.
