Racemose neurocysticercosis presenting with thalamic stroke: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Racemose neurocysticercosis is an uncommon type of neurocysticercosis that represents a particularly aggressive infection. It is characterized by the presence of multiple confluent cysts within the subarachnoid space and it carries unique diagnostic challenges. Clinical manifestations include headache, cerebrovascular events, and life-threatening hydrocephalus. A 56-year-old female presented with sudden onset headache and right-sided hemisensory loss. Brain MRI revealed multiple cystic lesions in the subarachnoid space consistent with racemose neurocysticercosis and left thalamus acute lacunar infarct. This case report emphasizes the clinical importance, unique characteristics, and imaging features of racemose neurocysticercosis and its complications.
