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

Post-traumatic facial nerve paralysis is a common disease, but intracranial facial nerve injury after blunt injury has rarely been reported. We report a case of facial nerve avulsion at the cerebellopontine angle. A 23-year-old female with incomplete right-sided facial nerve palsy and facial spasms presented to our hospital. She had a history of traumatic injury, having fallen off a table and hit her head at the age of 2 years. After the accident, she developed complete right-sided facial nerve palsy and underwent conservative treatment with steroids. A magnetic resonance imaging examination performed 21 years later showed avulsion of the facial nerve at the cerebellopontine angle. Magnetic resonance imaging targeting the facial nerves might provide additional information to computed tomography in cases with poor recovery with conservative treatment.
