Malaria-induced ptosis.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study reports two cases of malaria-induced ptosis with surgical resolution. OBSERVATIONS: Case 1 is a 27-year-old female with a past medical history of bilateral ptosis following childhood malaria. Case 2 is a 63-year-old male with left-side ptosis following adult-onset malaria. Both patients required revision surgery but ultimately did well after surgical correction. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Malaria-induced ptosis is a rare entity that should be suspected in patients presenting with ptosis following infection and treatment of malaria. It is unknown if the patients' malaria results from malarial infection, antimalarial treatment, or a combination of both. Surgical correction is the mainstay of treatment.
