Anaesthetic Management of a Spontaneous Haemorrhagic Stroke Following Severe Preeclampsia: A Case Report.
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
Haemorrhagic stroke (HS) during pregnancy, especially in the context of preeclampsia, is a rare but critical emergency that poses significant health risks to both the mother and the foetus. Even so, rapid recognition and appropriate management are of utmost importance to minimise unfavourable outcomes. We present a case of the management of HS in a pregnant woman with severe preeclampsia, resulting in favourable outcomes for both mother and neonate. A 39-year-old female (gravida 8, para 4) at 32 weeks and six days of gestation was admitted with sudden-onset severe headache, vomiting, hypertension (200/100 mmHg), inability to speak, right-sided hemiplegia, and proteinuria. Given a depressed level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale 9), she was intubated following rapid sequence induction. Neuroimaging showed a left cerebellar vermis and hemisphere haemorrhage with marked mass effect and transtentorial and tonsillar herniation. Emergency decompressive craniotomy with haematoma evacuation was performed under total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA), with intracranial pressure and severe hypertension managed accordingly. Intraoperative deterioration of foetal cardiotocography prompted an emergency caesarean section in the same theatre, without patient transfer. The neonate was delivered with Apgar scores of 6, 8, and 9; transient respiratory depression required supplemental oxygen and a three-day neonatal unit admission, with no mechanical ventilation. The mother was extubated on day three and discharged two weeks after admission with residual ataxic gait and dysarthria. Throughout the case, continuous foetal monitoring was essential to guide the timing of delivery, underlining the importance of early recognition of foetal distress and immediate delivery without delay. This case emphasises the crucial role of the obstetric anaesthesiologist as the central coordinator in a complex multidisciplinary scenario involving simultaneous neurosurgical and obstetric emergencies.
