Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07046247 (Effect of Teflon Implant on Nerve Tissue and Its Relationship With Recurrences in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia by Microvascular Decompression, With Special Attention to the Method of Application), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Trigeminal Neuralgia is commonly triggered by stimuli in the area of the trigeminal nerve innervation. We report an exceptionally rare case of a 61-year-old woman who complained of recurrent trigeminal neuralgia, which sole trigger was seeing a bright light. Teflon felt that was placed on the nerve root in the initial surgery was suspected of causing this rare type of trigeminal neuralgia. A reflex circuit linking luminance to trigeminal nerve activity may be implicated in activating a trigeminal nociceptive pathway by a bright light trigger.
