Clinical, imaging, and biofluid correlates of Lyme polyradiculitis in a case report of neuroborreliosis.
Article in BJR case reports, 2025. 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
Among the causes of ambulatory dysfunction, Lyme polyradiculitis is an uncommon but still essential aetiology to consider given its simple, effective treatment. We present a case of a man with 1 month of worsening bilateral leg paresis, paresthesia, and pain. He recalled no erythema migrans or tick bite. Initial screening showed negative serum Lyme and positive Epstein-Barr Virus testing. At our hospital, MRI revealed polyradiculitis with cauda equina nerve root enhancement. Subsequent serum and cerebrospinal results were positive for Lyme neuroborreliosis. He improved rapidly from a course of doxycycline. This case highlights the importance of timing for Lyme serologies in early neuroborreliosis, as well as converging clinical, radiological, and biofluid testing for diagnosis and management.
