Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy as the sole presenting feature of neurobrucellosis: a case report.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2026. 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
Neurobrucellosis is a rare complication of Brucella infection that usually presents with meningitis or meningoencephalitis. We describe a 49-year-old cattle farmer from an endemic region who presented with acute binocular diplopia and pupil-sparing oculomotor nerve palsy, without systemic symptoms and with normal neuroimaging. Diagnosis was based on elevated serum agglutination titers and cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities after exclusion of structural and vascular causes. Combination antibiotic therapy with adjunctive corticosteroids resulted in complete resolution of ocular deficits within three months. This case underscores the need to consider neurobrucellosis in isolated oculomotor nerve palsy despite unremarkable imaging when epidemiological exposure is present.
