Taenia solium neurocysticercosis: Its current epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and control landscapes.
Review in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Neurocysticercosis is the most common helminthic parasitic disease affecting the human central nervous system and is pleomorphic in its presentation. It is frequently encountered in daily practice in most parts of the world, and also commonly seen in industrialized countries in immigrant populations. In the past decade, new treatment (combined anti-parasitic drugs, increased attention to reducing treatment-associated inflammation and damage, new surgical strategies), and diagnostic (more specific antigen and antibody detection concepts and tools, more sensitive magnetic resonance imaging sequences) approaches, new animal models, and data on control of transmission have emerged. Still, diagnostic challenges persist and treatment approaches for some types of disease may differ, affecting clinical practice. This review provides clinicians in endemic and non-endemic countries with a comprehensive and practical reference to understand the variabilities in clinical expression of the disease and the optimal diagnostic and treatment approaches.
