Dysphagia due to Lyme Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Brain & NeuroRehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lyme disease is a multisystem infection that can affect the joints, heart, and nervous system when untreated. While it can present with cranial nerve palsy, dysphagia is rarely reported. This case highlights a rare instance of dysphagia in Lyme disease, typically known for neurological symptoms like facial nerve palsy. Despite the absence of erythema migrans or a documented tick bite, the patient's facial palsy, hearing loss, vocal cord paralysis, and dysphagia were attributed to Lyme disease. With the rising prevalence of Lyme disease, similar cases may increase, particularly in endemic regions of North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment in patients with unexplained dysphagia.
