Severe Neurocysticercosis in an Immunocompetent Male Without Travel to an Endemic Region: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Neurocysticercosis is a neglected parasitic cause of seizures in the United States. It can have a wide array of presentations depending on the location and number of cysticercoids. The severity of symptoms varies with the location of the lesion in the brain and to the extent of the number of neurocysticercoids and host immune response. In the severe form of neurocysticercosis, it can present as an acute encephalitic picture. We present a case of severe neurocysticercosis in a patient without any significant travel history. Neurocysticercosis in nonendemic areas can be diagnostically challenging, given the lack of travel history as in our patient. Neurocysticercosis should be kept as a differential in all cases of seizures without prior history of seizure episodes.
