Glossopharyngeal neuralgia associated with cardiac syncope.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a rare pain syndrome presenting with paroxysms of pain in the region of the glossopharyngeal nerve. Even more uncommon is the association between glossopharyngeal neuralgia and cardiac syncope. In these patients, the cardiovascular consequences may include bradycardia, hypotension and cardiac arrest. We describe the case of a 40-year-old patient who presented with this rare association of glossopharyngeal neuralgia and syncope. Multiple pauses including one lasting 14 s were noted on ambulatory ECG monitoring. In this case, the patient declined pharmacological treatment with carbamazepine or with permanent pacing and so far has been in remission from symptoms for 3 months.
