Complete Third Nerve Palsy With Pupil Involvement in Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus: A Case Report.
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
Simultaneous complete oculomotor nerve palsy in herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is rare. We report a case of a 65-year-old lady who presented with a right drooping eyelid for 2 days associated with rashes over her right forehead. Examination showed crusted vesicular lesions on the right V1 dermatome with right complete ptosis, anisocoria, and limited right extraocular movement on all gazes except full movement on abduction. The anterior chamber showed mild right eye anterior chamber inflammation and bilateral fundus examinations were normal. Other neurological examinations were normal. Neuroimaging also was normal. A diagnosis of complete third nerve palsy secondary to HZO with keratouveitis was made. HZO-causing cranial nerve palsy is a relatively uncommon finding. In severe cases with significant nerve involvement, additional treatments or interventions may be necessary to manage the third nerve palsy and its associated complications.
