Clinical spectrum of neurocysticercosis: A hospital-based study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Introduction: Neurocysticercosis (NCC), caused by the larval stage of Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Microbiology, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, from September 2018 to August 2019. A total of 69 patients with radiological findings suggestive of NCC were included. Neuroimaging (CT/MRI) findings were categorized as definitive or probable NCC based on revised diagnostic criteria. Serum samples were analyzed using ELISA to detect Results: Out of 69 patients, 44 (63.8%) were ELISA positive. Males predominated (77.3%), with most cases in the 11-20 years age group (25.0%). Single lesions were more common (59.1%), with the parietal lobe being the most frequently affected site (50.0%). Seizures were reported in 97.7% of cases, with partial seizures with secondary generalization being the most common type (53.5%). Dietary habits revealed high raw vegetable consumption (95.5%) and non-vegetarian diets (79.5%). Definitive NCC was identified in 6.8% of cases, while 93.2% were classified as probable NCC. Conclusion: This study highlights NCC as a significant health concern in Jharkhand, predominantly affecting males and presenting with seizures. The integration of serological testing, radiographic findings, and clinical data is essential for accurate diagnosis. This first-of-its-kind study emphasizes the need for larger community-based research to understand NCC's true impact in this region.
