1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Lyme borreliosis, a tick-borne illness caused by Case Presentation: A 6-year-old female presented to our pediatric hospital with binocular horizontal diplopia, headache, fever, malaise, and suspected papilledema 47 days after an embedded tick bite. A diagnosis of Lyme disease had been made 10 days prior in the community based on positive serologies and erythema migrans, but she developed a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction within 24 h of oral doxycycline, leading to an antibiotic change to amoxicillin. During the hospital admission, an ophthalmological examination revealed papilledema and IH was evidenced by an opening pressure of 36 mm Hg and brain MRI findings. The lumbar puncture revealed pleocytosis and positive cerebrospinal fluid antibodies for Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering Lyme disease in the differential diagnosis of IH, particularly in endemic regions. Early recognition, diagnostic workup, and appropriate treatment are crucial for optimal outcomes in LNB.
