Two Cases of Neurocysticercosis in Indigenous Papuans: Diagnostic and Public Health Challenges.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 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
BACKGROUND Neurocysticercosis (NCC) remains a neglected but preventable parasitic infection that is endemic in many low- and middle-income countries where pigs are raised. Despite Indonesia being endemic for the causative agent of NCC (Taenia solium), documentation of NCC in Papua is limited. CASE REPORT We describe 2 computed tomography (CT)-confirmed cases of NCC diagnosed at Wamena Regional General Hospital in Highland Papua, Indonesia. The first case involved an 11-year-old girl presenting with visual hallucinations and blindness. The second case was a 20-year-old man presenting with psychiatric symptoms, seizures, and aphasia. Both patients were treated with anti-epileptic and anti-inflammatory medications, but follow-up was limited. CONCLUSIONS These 2 cases demonstrate the occurrence of rare clinical manifestations of NCC, including blindness, visual hallucinations, and psychiatric symptoms, in rural Indigenous Papuans. There is a need to strengthen imaging capacity and standardize clinical protocols to address the burden of NCC in Papua.
