Lyme Neuroborreliosis Presenting as Multiple Cranial Neuropathies.
Article in Neuro-ophthalmology (Aeolus Press), 2022. 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
Neuroborreliosis can manifest with cranial nerve (CN) palsies, commonly CN VII. Rarely have isolated or multiple palsies been reported. We describe a case of a young female from a Lyme endemic region who presented with bilateral CN VI palsies and a dilated right pupil, possibly a partial CN III palsy. She later developed CN VII palsy and bilateral enhancement of multiple cranial nerves on neuroimaging. She was diagnosed with Lyme disease by serological testing, with gradual improvement on antibiotics. Our case illustrates that neuroborreliosis can present as any or multiple CN palsies, and should be considered particularly in endemic areas.
