Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy in Neisseria meningitidis meningitis: a case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 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
Bacterial meningitis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite advances in prevention and treatment. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for optimal patient outcomes. This case report describes a 22-year-old Bangladeshi male who presented to the emergency department with headache, neck pain, vomiting, and left eye ptosis, ultimately diagnosed with Neisseria meningitidis meningitis. This case highlights the rare but significant complication of oculomotor nerve palsy associated with this infection. We also present a literature review discussing the incidence, pathophysiology, and clinical implications of cranial nerve involvement in bacterial meningitis, focusing on N. meningitidis, and explore the diagnostic challenges posed by overlapping clinical presentations of bacterial and tuberculous meningitis, particularly in resource-limited settings.
