Neurocysticercosis in a Non-endemic Setting: A Report of Three Cases.
Article in Cureus, 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
Neurocysticercosis can present a diagnostic challenge in settings where it is not routinely suspected. Although endemic in many developing regions, it remains uncommon in Morocco, which may delay diagnosis. We report three cases illustrating its clinical and radiological variability in a non-endemic setting. All patients came from rural areas and presented with seizures, while one also reported chronic headaches and severe fatigue. Neuroimaging revealed predominantly parenchymal lesions at different evolutionary phases, including scolex-containing lesions, calcifications, and a ring-enhancing lesion suggestive of the colloidal phase. Serology may provide supportive evidence, but a negative result does not exclude intraparenchymal neurocysticercosis. These cases emphasize the importance of considering neurocysticercosis in patients with suggestive neurological and radiological findings, even in non-endemic settings.
