Recurrent Syncope Related to Carotid Compression in Eagle Syndrome: A Case Report.

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
Eagle syndrome is a rare disease characterised by symptoms associated with an elongated styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid and stylomandibular ligament. Symptoms associated with Eagle Syndrome include orofacial and cervical pain, dysphagia, and pharyngeal foreign body sensation. Additionally, it can present with cerebrovascular symptoms due to the compression of adjacent neurovascular structures within the vicinity of the styloid process during rotation and extension of the neck. This report presents the case of a 33-year-old male with bilateral elongated styloid processes in whom the only symptom referred was recurrent syncope. The diagnosis was made years after the initial complaints and after several observations and imagings performed by different specialities. Surgical resection of the elongated process by the cervical approach was the treatment of choice. In patients with cerebrovascular symptoms, principally those induced by positional changes of the neck, Eagle syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
