Clinico-Radiological Correlation of Weber's Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Weber's syndrome, named after Hermann Weber, is characterized by midbrain lesions often caused by strokes, resulting in ipsilateral third nerve palsy, including ptosis and pupillary abnormalities, and contralateral hemiplegia. We discuss a case of a 35-year-old lady with cognitive impairment, right hemiparesis, diplopia, left eye ptosis, and lateral eye deviation. MRI of the brain with contrast suggested an acute infarct in the left-sided paramedian region of the midbrain. The oculomotor nucleus and cerebral peduncle were both affected by an abrupt left-sided paramedian midbrain stroke. The participation of particular midbrain nuclei together with symptoms including drooping eyelids, diplopia, and limb paralysis suggested Weber's syndrome. An MRI study of the brain is the modality of choice in suspected stroke cases and is more sensitive when it comes to the brainstem lesions. A comprehensive neurological examination with a clinical diagnosis of Weber's syndrome before radiological investigations is of great help for localizing brain stem lesions and thus aids in early diagnosis and treatment.
