Hypoglossal Nerve Palsy as a Rare Complication of C1-C2 Pott's Spine.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Reporting a rare scenario of hypoglossal nerve palsy in craniovertebral tuberculosis. Two patients presented in outpatient department with chief complaints of pain in neck, restricted neck movements, gait changes, difficulty in speech and weakness in all the extremities. On the basis of clinicoradiological correlation, the patients were diagnosedwithtuberculosis of C1-C2 spine. They were started on antituberculosis therapy Category 1. The patients improved clinically and there was no worsening of symptoms, but they noticed tongue deviation and hypotrophy on one side of the tongue. C1-C2 tuberculosis along with cranial nerve palsy, especially hypoglossal nerve is one of the rarest presentations. Hypoglossal nerve arises from the medulla, exits through hypoglossal canal in the base of the skull and traverses neck to supply tongue musculature. Prevertebral fascia extends from superior mediastinum to base of the skull. Abscess in this area can cause either actual compression of the hypoglossal canal or C1 and base of the skull dissociation which can lead to compression of the canal.
