Isolated Third Nerve Palsy and Alternate Hemiparesis in Brain Stem Stroke: A Case Report.
Article in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. 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
A very rare sign of brain stem stroke is Weber's Syndrome. Ipsilateral third nerve palsy and contralateral hemiparesis are the hallmarks of Weber's Syndrome. Midbrain infarction is the most frequent cause of Weber's Syndrome. The perforating branches of the basilar bifurcation or occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery commonly cause the infarction. We report the case of a 58-year-old female diagnosed with Weber's syndrome. The risk factors were hypertension and dyslipidemia. This patient presented with acute right-side motor weakness and left medial gaze palsy (third nerve palsy). A brain Computed Tomography (CT) scan revealed a lesion on the right side of the mesencephalon, which was consistent with an acute brainstem infarction. Subsequent Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) revealed severe stenosis of the posterior circulation. We diagnosed and treated this patient as having Weber's syndrome based on the symptoms, signs, and imaging findings.
