CT-guided radiofrequency treatment of trigeminal neuralgia at different temperatures through foramen rotundus.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo compare the efficacy and safety of CT-guided radiofrequency therapy in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) through foramen rotundus at different temperatures.
methodsA total of 60 patients with TN in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 30 cases in each group. CT or MRI was routinely performed before the operation to exclude intracranial space-occupying lesions. The round hole of both groups of patients was targeted under CT guidance. The puncture needle position and depth were determined according to CT images and radiofrequency electrical stimulation. The control group gradually increased the radiofrequency temperature to 75°C, and the observation group gradually increased to 90°C for damage treatment. Both groups of patients were treated with radiofrequency for 360 s. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by BNI classification criteria. At the same time, the visual analog scale (VAS) score, the total score of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method in survival analysis was used to calculate the pain recurrence rate at 1 and 2 years after the operation.
resultsOne week after the operation, there was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (χ
conclusionCT-guided radiofrequency at 90°C through foramen rotundus is effective in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia without increasing the incidence of complications.
