1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Neuroborreliosis is part of advanced stage of Lyme disease and often characterized by damage to the cranial and/or peripheral nerves. Involvement of one or both recurrent nerves is rare. Diagnosis is often difficult and based on a set of clinical manifestations, biological arguments, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. A 70-year-old man was referred to our Voice Clinic with a 3-month history of dysphonia caused by right vocal fold paralysis (VFP) without any cutaneous symptoms of tick bite or erythema migrans in the previous weeks and normal initial radiological examination (neck and thorax CT). Methylprednisolone had already been prescribed but without any clinical improvement. Late biological investigation 3 months after initial symptoms of VFP showed high IgG (93 U/mL; reference <10 U/mL) against
