Microvascular Non-Arteritic Ocular Motor Nerve Palsies-What We Know and How Should We Treat?
Review in Neuro-ophthalmology (Aeolus Press), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Patients with isolated unilateral pupil-sparing third or isolated fourth or sixth nerve palsies over 50 years are often diagnosed with "microvascular extraocular palsies". This condition and its management provoke divergent opinions. We review the literature and describe the incidence, pathology, clinical presentation, yield of imaging, and management. A retrospective diagnosis of exclusion has little practical use. We suggest a pragmatic approach to diagnosis, investigation, and management from initial presentation.
