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

Millard-Gubler syndrome is a crossed brainstem syndrome involving the facial nerve, abducens nerve, and the pyramidal tracts, typically resulting in ipsilateral facial weakness and contralateral hemiparesis. Here we report the case of a 76-year-old female with no pertinent past medical history who presented to the emergency department with acute left-sided facial droop and right upper extremity sensory loss. A pontine infarction was identified on imaging and she was managed medically with complete recovery. Pontine infarction can result in Millard-Gubler syndrome and present with facial weakness and subtle contralateral limb symptoms.
