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

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological condition characterized by reversible vasogenic edema. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a disorder characterized by segmental narrowing of the cerebral arteries that causes severe headaches. We report a case of PRES and RCVS development in a 52-year-old woman treated with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, relugolix, and oral iron supplementation for uterine fibroids and iron deficiency anemia. In this case, relugolix may have contributed to the onset of PRES and RCVS through estrogen suppression and the resulting endothelial dysfunction. Additionally, gradual treatment of anemia over two months with oral iron alone may have played a role in this case, given that increased intravascular volume and viscosity can precipitate vascular injury and vasoconstriction. To our knowledge, this represents the first reported case of concurrent PRES and RCVS associated with relugolix therapy.
