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
rationaleGlossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare type of neuralgia. Depending on the cause, it is classified as idiopathic GPN and secondary GPN. Secondary GPN can also be caused by a mass effect or inflammation of the tonsils, the innervation area of glossopharyngeal nerve. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient was diagnosed idiopathic GPN 8 years ago. The patient had intermittent pain, but the pain was well controlled. From 5 months ago, the pain gradually worsened, the patient complained severe pain which impaired chewing and swallowing function. DIAGNOSES: Idiopathic GPN, secondary GPN, chronic tonsillitis
interventions: Percutaneous glossopharyngeal nerve block, glossopharyngeal neurolysis, and pulsed radiofrequency neuromodulation of glossopharyngeal nerve were performed. After the diagnosis of tonsillitis, antibiotic therapy was performed OUTCOMES:: Two weeks after the antibiotic treatment, the pain decreased simultaneously with the patient's tonsillitis recovery. LESSONS: In a Patient who had already been diagnosed with idiopathic GPN, both pain control and its cause should be considered when the pain is aggravated.
