Recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy revealing oculomotor nerve schwannoma.

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
Painful ophthalmoplegia is a common presenting symptom in neuro-ophthalmology emergencies. We report an unusual case of a recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia due to a third nerve schwannoma mimicking « ophthalmoplegic migraine ». A 18 year-old girl had presented 4 episodes of left eye painful ophthalmoplegia respectively in 8, 13, 16 and 17 years old. One year after the last episode, neurological examination was normal. Brain MRI focused on the oculomotor nerve showed an enhancing nodular lesion suggesting a third nerve schwannoma. Thus, recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia revealing oculomotor nerve schwannoma, as described in our case, is exceptional. To our knowledge, only thirteen cases have been reported in the literature. Third nerve schwannoma is a rare cranial nerve tumor, typically revealed by progressive palsy of the oculomotor nerve. Recurrent painful ophthalmoplegia with persistent headache and enhancement in brain imaging should suggest tumoral lesions.
