Stylohyoid complex syndrome: A report of two cases and review of the literature.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This article reports two patients with stylohyoid complex syndrome. Cone beam computed tomography examination of the 37-year-old Caucasian woman with hemifacial pain, radiating to the left ear which intensified in response to opening the mouth revealed the ossified distal part of the left stylohyoid ligament, 23.85 mm long, which had a contact with the lesser horn of the hyoid. A 43-year-old man with a 5-month history of pain in the anterolateral surface of the neck and temporomandibular joint on the right side when swallowing and yawning had the styloid process elongation with a "bayonet-like" deformity on the same side. Ossification of the stylohyoid ligament, elongation and bending of the slyloid process, as a reason of the lateral neck and/or facial pain is not commonly suspected in clinical practice where diagnosis is often first made radiologically.
