Isolated trochlear palsy as the only presentation of midbrain infarction: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Trochlear palsy often results from traumatic, congenital and microvascular disorders. An intra-axial lesion as a cause of trochlear palsy is uncommon. Moreover, it usually accompanies other neurological deficits. Isolated trochlear palsy as the only presentation of brainstem stroke is unexpected. This current case report describes a 74-year-old male that presented with trochlear palsy without other neurological signs. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an acute midbrain infarction. The case report also reviews recent literature and provides a stepwise algorithm for clinicians to approach patients with trochlear palsy. Despite its rarity, clinicians are advised to consider ischaemic stroke as a cause of trochlear palsy even without other neurological deficits. Early MRI should be performed for prompt and proper management.
