Embolic Stroke Following an Amniotic Fluid Embolism in the Setting of Patent Foramen Ovale.
Article in Case reports in obstetrics and gynecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but devastating complication during pregnancy. We present an instance of an embolic stroke following an AFE in labor with a concurrent patent foramen ovale (PFO). The patient was a 34-year-old G4P2 who had an acute seizure event intrapartum. She was taken for an emergent cesarean delivery during which she was noted to have cardiopulmonary compromise. A cesarean hysterectomy was performed due to ongoing DIC and hemorrhage. Postoperatively, she was found to have evidence of thrombotic emboli as well as a PFO. She had a good neurologic recovery with supportive measures even prior to discharge from the hospital and has continued to do well. When more common etiologies of intrapartum seizures have been excluded, providers should maintain a high index of suspicion for embolic stroke.
