Papilledema as the Sole Manifestation of Neuroborreliosis.
Article in Case reports in infectious diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Lyme disease is reportable, and approximately 30,000 cases/year are notified to the local and state health departments. However, other estimates based on insurance records suggest there are close to 476,000 cases/year that are diagnosed and treated. In addition to a large burden of illness, areas where Lyme disease is common are expanding. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of uncommon presentations of this condition. We describe the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with papilledema as an isolated manifestation of Lyme disease. Of note, her ocular symptoms were intermittent and worse when tired. In endemic areas, Lyme disease must be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with isolated ophthalmic findings even outside the usual Lyme season.
