Subarachnoid Neurocysticercosis Presenting as a New-Onset Seizure in an Immigrant From Guatemala.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Subarachnoid involvement is a rare but severe form of neurocysticercosis (NCC), leading to serious complications if not recognized and treated appropriately. Imaging of the brain usually involves computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the brain, both of which can lead to a diagnosis of NCC. We present a 20-year-old female with no significant past medical history presenting with a new-onset seizure whose clinical treatment was significantly altered when subarachnoid involvement was identified. This case highlights the importance of brain MRI in recognizing subarachnoid disease, an important subset of NCC disease presentation.
