A Rare Case of Heerfordt's Syndrome with Bilateral Facial Palsy.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Sarcoidosis is a multi systemic granulomatous disorder involving all the organs of the body. Heerfordt's syndrome is an acute and rare presentation of sarcoidosis. It presents with fever, uveitis and bilateral parotid swelling with unilateral or bilateral facial palsy. It is seen in 0.3 % of cases of sarcoidosis. Typical presentation of Heerfordt's syndrome is rare. Facial palsy is seen in 25-50 % of Heerfordt's syndrome. Bilateral facial palsy is very rare contributing to only 0.3-2 % of all cases of facial nerve palsies. The diagnosis is very difficult as the facial features are less obvious compared to unilateral palsy. In this case report, we have presented a rare case of Heerfordt's syndrome with bilateral facial palsy which was misdiagnosed as mumps. This case highlights the importance of including Heerfordt's syndrome in evaluating the causes of facial palsy. Bilateral facial palsy unlike unilateral is less obvious. Hence a detailed history, thorough clinical examination and relevant investigations will aid in arriving at diagnosis and better management of the patient.
