Facial nerve in skullbase tumors: imaging and clinical relevance.
Review in European journal of medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Facial nerve, the 7th cranial nerve, is a mixed nerve composed of sensory and motor fibers, and its main branch is situated in the cerebellopontine angle. Facial nerve dysfunction is a debilitating phenomenon that can occur in skullbase tumors and Bell's pals. Recovery of the facial nerve dysfunction after surgery for skullbase tumors can be disappointing, but is usually favorable in Bell's palsy. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow to visualize the facial nerve and its course in the cerebellopontine angle, also when a large tumor is present and compresses the nerve. Here, we describe the anatomical, neurochemical and clinical aspects of the facial nerve and highlight the recent progress in visualizing the facial nerve with MRI.
