Dry Beriberi During Pregnancy After Hyperemesis Gravidarum: A Case Report of Axonal Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy.
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
Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency is a preventable complication of prolonged hyperemesis gravidarum, and the resulting malnutrition may lead to disabling peripheral neuropathy. We report the case of a 25-year-old primigravida who presented at 20 weeks of gestation with rapidly progressive distal weakness and glove-and-stocking paresthesias. Electroneuromyogram testing revealed an axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy, and the serum thiamine level was low, supporting the diagnosis of thiamine deficiency-related neuropathy (dry beriberi). High-dose intravenous thiamine resulted in partial neurological improvement. A structured multidisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation program led to major functional gains, with the patient progressing from wheelchair dependence to independent ambulation within two months. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of thiamine deficiency in pregnancy and the added value of a structured multidisciplinary physical medicine and rehabilitation program, alongside prompt thiamine replacement, in restoring safe ambulation and functional independence during pregnancy.
