Tick Paralysis: A Thorough Examination May Prevent Unnecessary Harm.
Article in Cureus, 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
Tick paralysis is a relatively uncommon tick-borne illness that is often overlooked and misdiagnosed. Therefore, it is not unusual for cases to undergo unnecessary work-up and interventions that may delay correct diagnosis and treatment, placing the patient at risk for catastrophic consequences. We present the case of a four-year-old female who developed ascending flaccid paralysis, initially misdiagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). She was placed in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for mechanical ventilation after failing to respond to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration and plasmapheresis. Later in her hospital course, she was correctly diagnosed to have tick paralysis.
