A Case of Sjögren's Syndrome Associated With Trigeminal Neuropathy and Enhancement of the Mandibular Nerve at the Foramen Ovale: A Case Report and a Review of the Differential Diagnosis and Mechanisms of the Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We describe a case of Sjögren's syndrome-associated trigeminal neuropathy with mandibular nerve enhancement at the foramen ovale and Gasserian ganglion (Meckel's cave) in a patient with a prior history of breast cancer. We also explore the differential diagnosis of trigeminal neuropathy associated with mandibular nerve involvement at the foramen ovale and exclude other diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome or perineurial invasion as a result of various carcinomas. We emphasize the importance of an investigative triad of searching for a local head-and-neck malignancy that may metastasize by perineural spread or invasion, excluding a distant malignancy or paraneoplastic phenomenon and ruling out an autoimmune etiology such as Sjögren's syndrome. In the process, we briefly outline the basic immunopathologic processes.
