Neurocysticercosis presenting with oculomotor nerve palsy: Case report and literature review.
Article in IDCases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (NCC), a central nervous system infection caused by the cystic larvae of Taenia Solium, is endemic in many low-to-middle income countries. NCC is known to have a variety of presentations depending on the size and site of involvement including chronic headaches, seizures, hydrocephalus, and ischemic insults. NCC has also been rarely associated with cranial nerve palsies. We report the case of a 26-year-old Nepalese lady who presented with isolated left-sided oculomotor nerve palsy and was found to have midbrain NCC. She was treated with anthelminthic agents and corticosteroids which led to clinical improvement. NCC can present with a variety of focal neurological syndromes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of NCC presenting with third cranial nerve palsy in the state of Qatar and the middle east. We also review the literature for other cases of NCC which presented with isolated oculomotor nerve palsy.
