Idiopathic unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy: A case report.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Cranial nerve III palsy, also known as oculomotor nerve palsy, may result from various causes; however, the etiology remains unknown in some instances. The aim of this case report is to present the authors' experience with two cases of idiopathic cranial nerve III palsy, together with a review of the literature. Case 1 is a 78-year-old woman and case 2 is a 75-year-old man, both having no history of trauma and no vascular risk factors. They presented to the authors' hospital with diplopia and palpebral ptosis and were diagnosed with idiopathic unilateral cranial nerve III palsy. They received oral steroids for treatment. One patient recovered completely within 3 months, while the other patient did not recover regardless of long-term follow-up. Idiopathic cranial nerve III palsy can occur in otherwise healthy individuals and often recover in several months. Careful examinations to rule out other causes and then steroid treatment should be considered after early diagnosis.
