Unveiling Lyme Neuroborreliosis in the Absence of Dermatological Symptoms.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Lyme neuroborreliosis can present with isolated neurological manifestations, posing diagnostic challenges, especially in the absence of hallmark dermatological symptoms like erythema migrans. This case highlights a patient with isolated cervical radiculopathy due to Lyme neuroborreliosis, presenting without systemic features such as fever, arthralgia, or rash. The diagnosis was confirmed through serological testing, with positive findings on the Western blot. Comparisons with reported cases, including isolated urinary retention, bilateral neurosensory hearing loss, and Bannwarth syndrome, reveal the clinical heterogeneity of Lyme neuroborreliosis. Elevated inflammatory markers, tick exposure, and serological findings remain crucial for diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of clinical vigilance in endemic areas, as timely recognition and treatment are essential to prevent long-term complications.
