1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewTraumatic neuromas in general, and trigeminal traumatic neuromas in particular, are relatively rare entities originating from a damage to a corresponding nerve or its branches. This manuscript is a comprehensive review of the literature on trigeminal traumatic neuromas based on an interesting and challenging case of bilateral intraoral lesions. RECENT

findingsThe diagnosis for this patient was bilateral trigeminal traumatic neuromas. It is possible that these patients have a genetic predisposition to the development of these lesions. It is a neuropathic pain condition and may mimic dental and other trigeminal pain entities. Topical treatment with lidocaine gel, utilizing a custom-made neurosensory stent, rendered the patient significant and sustained pain relief. Trigeminal traumatic neuromas present a diagnostic challenge even to a seasoned clinician, due to the complex clinical features that may mimic other entities. Topical medications such as local anesthetics may be a good viable alternative to systemic medications to manage the pain associated with the condition. Early identification of the lesion and the associated pain helps in the succinct management of symptomatic trigeminal traumatic neuromas.
