Isolated Body Lateropulsion: A Rare Clinical Presentation of Midbrain Infarction.
Article in Cureus, 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
Lateropulsion, a tendency of the body to lean or fall to one side without weakness or limb ataxia, is most often associated with lateral medullary infarction but may also occur with pontine, cerebellar, thalamic, or midbrain lesions. Isolated body lateropulsion due to midbrain infarction, however, is rare. We report an 86-year-old woman who developed acute lateropulsion without ocular, sensory, or motor deficits. Diffusion-weighted MRI showed a small infarct in the right rostral paramedian midbrain, medial to the red nucleus. Her symptoms improved with rehabilitation. The lesion location suggests selective disruption of the vestibulo-thalamic pathway, highlighting its role in postural control and its vulnerability to a small lesion. Recognizing this presentation facilitates accurate lesion localization in midbrain infarction.
