High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging in isolated, traumatic oculomotor nerve palsy: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Traumatic, isolated oculomotor nerve palsy is a rare clinical finding and only few reports demonstrate associated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Here, we present the case of a 70-year-old woman with left-sided oculomotor nerve palsy following a mild head trauma due to an e-bike accident. Post-traumatic cerebral computed tomography revealed punctiform hemorrhage in the left interpeduncular cistern and the following MRI confirmed an intraneural hemorrhage of the left oculomotor nerve. Nine weeks later, the follow-up MRI showed progressive atrophy and contrast-enhancement of the left oculomotor nerve. To support functional recovery, a treatment with intravenous corticosteroids was started. Six months later, the patient presented with improved oculomotor nerve function and partial recovery of ptosis and diplopia. In accordance, MRI demonstrated recurrent contrast-enhancement of the atrophic nerve. In conclusion, high-resolution MRI allows the reliable delineation of the oculomotor nerve and can support diagnosis in trauma patients with isolated oculomotor nerve palsy.
