Etiological distribution of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy: analysis of 633 patients and literature review.
Review in European journal of neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
background and purposeThe etiological distribution of oculomotor nerve palsy has varied amongst the studies. This study aimed to define the clinical features and underlying etiologies of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy by recruiting patients from all departments in a referral-based university hospital.
methodsThe medical records of 672 patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy at all departments of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, South Korea, from 2003 to 2020 were reviewed. A proportion of the etiology of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy was also compared with that of patients pooled from the previous studies that were searched on PubMed in May 2022.
resultsThe most common etiology was microvascular (n = 168, 26.5%), followed by vascular anomalies (n = 110, 17.4%), neoplastic (n = 86, 13.6%), inflammatory (n = 79, 12.5%), idiopathic (n = 60, 9.5%) and traumatic (n = 53, 8.4%). Neurologists were mainly involved in the management of microvascular and inflammatory oculomotor nerve palsies whilst ophthalmologists mainly participated in the care of idiopathic, neoplastic and traumatic palsies. Neurosurgeons mostly took care of oculomotor nerve palsy due to vascular anomalies.
conclusionsThe proportion of etiologies of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy may differ according to the specialties involved in the management. The results of previous studies on the etiological distribution of isolated oculomotor nerve palsy should be interpreted with this consideration.
