Osteoporosis in the jawbones: a correlative factor of primary trigeminal neuralgia?
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), a neuropathic disorder of one or both of the trigeminal nerves, occurs most often in people over age 50. Extreme, sporadic, sudden burning or shock-like face pain in common activities greatly lowers quality of life. The precise cause of primary TN remains unknown, but it may be caused by vascular pressing on the trigeminal nerve in its root entry zone (REZ), demyelinization of trigeminal sensory fibers, or jawbone cavity. Accordingly, many treatments carry risks of adverse effects, recurrence, and complications. TN and osteoporosis have similar high-risk populations and a common influential factor - emotional stress - is also closed related to primary TN for calcitonin gene-related peptide and calcitonin. Jawbone cavity, which is a possible pathogenesis of TN, may be another form of jawbone osteoporosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that osteoporosis in jaws could be a correlative factor of primary TN. If this hypothesis is verified, it may suggest specific new ideas for the early preventive treatment of primary TN.
