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

Epidural blood patch (EBP) is considered the most effective interventional treatment for post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), but it is considered a relative contraindication during active bacteraemia because of the theoretical risk of neuraxial seeding. We describe a 26-year-old primiparous woman who developed a typical orthostatic headache after a technically difficult labour epidural analgesia. On postpartum day 4, she developed fever and urinary symptoms; blood and urine cultures grew
