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

In rare instances, the extremely painful disorder trigeminal neuralgia (TN) may develop as a result of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this article, we will be discussing the case of a 56-year-old female with TN. Antidepressants and analgesics can lessen the pain, although they were not very effective, and higher doses led to greater drowsiness and a poorer quality of life. Radiofrequency ablation helped this patient significantly lower the pain and led to an improved lifestyle. This case presents right-side radiofrequency ablation of Gasserian ganglion in a patient with unilateral TN with MS.
