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

Oculomotor synkinesis or aberrant regeneration of cranial nerve III (CN III) typically results from trauma, aneurysm, or mass lesions. We present a rare case report with CN III palsy and synkinesis secondary to a meningocele in the left oculomotor cistern, causing mass effect on the oculomotor nerve. Imaging suggested underlying idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) as a potential etiology. While mass lesions or trauma are common causes of oculomotor synkinesis, an association with meningocele has not been previously reported. This case highlights the importance of considering IIH-related meningoceles in unexplained CN III palsies.
