A Case of Secondary Trigeminal Neuropathy Due to Local Malignant Invasion of the Maxillary and Mandibular Nerves at the Skull Base: A Case Report With Review of Differential Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Trigeminal neuropathies (TNp) are a group of well-characterized disorders that involve damage to or infiltration of the trigeminal nerve. The underlying etiology of trigeminal neuropathy can be traumatic, inflammatory, autoimmune, paraneoplastic, malignant, and very rarely infectious. We present a case of trigeminal neuropathy due to local malignant invasion of the mandibular nerve with mandibular nerve enhancement at the foramen ovale and foramen rotundum. In the process, we review various etiologies of trigeminal neuropathy associated with trigeminal nerve involvement at the foramina. We emphasize the importance of a comprehensive evaluation in patients with trigeminal neuropathy, which includes searching for perineural spread or invasion by a local head and neck malignancy, as well as ruling out an inflammatory or autoimmune etiology. Our case also demonstrates that a higher field strength magnet can reveal pathology unseen with a lower field strength magnet.
