Trigeminal Neuralgia Due to Unilateral Early Bifurcated Superior Cerebellar Artery: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is considered a debilitating pain syndrome resulting from a neurovascular conflict in the prepontine cistern, usually through compression of the trigeminal nerve by the superior cerebellar artery (SCA), resulting in neural pathology at the root entry zone. This is a case report of a patient whose TN symptoms were attributed to an anatomical variant of the SCA, managed successfully through conservative treatment. Anatomical variants of the SCA have been related to TN. However, this is the first reported case in the PubMed literature of primary TN due to an unilateral early bifurcated SCA treated conservatively with first-line sodium channel blockers with a good outcome.
