Perineural Invasion of Occult Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Mimicking Tolosa-Hunt Syndrome.
Article in Neuro-ophthalmology (Aeolus Press), 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
We report a case of painful left abducens nerve palsy that progressed to a left cavernous sinus syndrome (CSS). The initial differential diagnosis was Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS), but the clinical course was atypical. Subsequently, perineural invasion (PNI) was demonstrated, after biopsy of a previously occult undiagnosed new cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the forehead. This case emphasizes the challenges of diagnosing painful ophthalmoplegia when there is an absence of positive neuroimaging or typical findings. The take home message is that a detailed medical history and high index of suspicion are necessary in suspected THS.
