Neurocysticercosis presenting as a locked-in lateral ventricle: A case report and evidence-based review.
Article in IDCases, 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
Human neurocysticercosis is one of the most prevalent parasitic infestations of the central nervous system. It is considered the most frequent underlying etiology of acquired epilepsy in endemic areas in Central and South America, East Europe, Africa, and Asia, with over 50 million people affected globally. Ventricular involvement is a severe form of neurocysticercosis commonly manifests as arachnoiditis, raised intracranial pressure, or hydrocephalus, secondary to CSF flow obstruction of the ventricular system by cysts of
