Tongue biting: a case of sporadic geniospasm during sleep.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
abstractWe report a healthy teenager with involuntary nocturnal tongue biting resulting in recurrent tongue injury. Causes for tongue biting during sleep in children include seizures, bruxism, faciomandibular myoclonia, hypnic myoclonia, and rarely geniospasm, which has been described as a rare inherited movement disorder accompanied with chin quivering. In the absence of family history, we diagnosed our patient with sporadic geniospasm based on polysomnographic findings with good response to clonazepam. Geniospasm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases with unexplained tongue injury in sleep.
