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

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that may result in dehydration, malnutrition, and electrolyte imbalance. Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), caused by thiamine deficiency, and refeeding syndrome (RFS), a metabolic complication of nutritional rehabilitation, are rare but serious sequelae of prolonged starvation in HG. We present the case of a multiparous woman in her 30s with severe HG and missed miscarriage at approximately 16 weeks, who developed refractory hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia, and evolving neurological symptoms following medical management of miscarriage. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated symmetrical medial thalamic and mammillary body changes suspicious for WE. She improved following intravenous thiamine and vitamin B complex replacement, potassium and magnesium correction, and multidisciplinary care. This case underscores the importance of early thiamine prophylaxis in severe HG and highlights persistent refractory electrolyte abnormalities as a potential early indicator of RFS and evolving WE.
