Injuries of the Peripheral Mandibular Nerve, Evaluation of Interventions and Outcomes: A Systematic Review.
Review in Craniomaxillofacial trauma & reconstruction, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Trigeminal nerve injuries are common and there is currently no consensus on both timing and type of intervention to achieve the best outcomes. A systematic review was performed to compare the outcomes of the many different types of therapeutic interventions for nerve injury. PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane Review databases were used to search for studies published from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2019. Included studies detailed treatment of an injury to peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve, either known transection or injury causing persistent alteration in sensation. The primary outcome was functional sensory recovery via the Medical Research Council scale. Twenty studies were included, detailing outcomes of 608 subjects undergoing intervention for 622 nerve injuries. Surgical interventions were able to achieve functional sensory recovery in approximately >80% or more of the subjects. There was heterogeneity among how procedures were performed, timing to intervention, and methods of measuring recovery. The data of this study supports the ability of surgical intervention to achieve functional sensory recovery in a significant number of subjects, and found evidence for better outcomes with intervention closer to the time of injury.
