Isolated third cranial nerve palsy as the presenting sign of tuberculum sellae meningioma: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in ophthalmology, 2025. 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
Tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) is an uncommon tumor among all intracranial meningiomas. As these tumors grow, they compress the surrounding structures, including the optic nerves and the pituitary gland. Ocular motor nerve palsy (OMNP) can occur as an isolated mononeuropathy or as part of multiple cranial nerve palsies. The role of corticosteroids in the management of OMNP has not been fully studied in the literature. In this report, we present a case of a previously well middle-aged woman who presented with severe headache and isolated OMNP on examination. MRI of the brain showed a small TSM that extends into the right optic canal. In our case, we noted the expedient and complete recovery of isolated OMNP within a few days following treatment with dexamethasone. This case report is on an isolated OMNP associated with TSM, which has not been previously reported. In addition, it highlights the role of corticosteroids in achieving rapid recovery from OMNP.
