Sjogren's syndrome associated with bilateral peripheral facial paralysis.

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
Sjogren's Syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that may be complicated by neurological dysfunctions. The involvement of cranial nerves in SS was described as a very rare complication. Moreover, bilateral peripheral facial paralysis associated with SS has been described only in 3 patients in the literature and the first case was described by Henrik Sjogren himself in 1935. We report a 59-year-old female with bilateral peripheral facial paralysis associated with Sjogren's syndrome. She was treated with 5-day IVIG consecutively and continued oral methylprednisolone 16mg/day and almost fully recovered at 2 months of follow-up examination. Acute bilateral peripheral facial palsy in SS is a very rare condition and Lyme disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, HIV infection, and central nervous system lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis. As a result, SS should be considered as an underlying cause of bilateral facial paralysis.
