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

Direct compression of the oculomotor nerve (OcN) is usually accompanied by OcN palsy, with an abnormal pupillary function. We herein present the case of a 76-year-old man with pupil-sparing paresis of the right inferior rectus muscle. A radiological examination revealed an epidermoid cyst at the right cerebellopontine angle, which came in contact with the right OcN. However, surgical intervention revealed compression of the inferomedial aspect of the OcN by the right posterior cerebral artery. Decompression of the nerve gradually improved the ocular movement. This unique case offers insights into the potential topographical arrangement of the OcN fibers.
