Facial Paralysis Treatment Using Selective Neurectomy: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. 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
Facial paralysis can affect patients undergoing full mouth rehabilitation, regardless of what caused their paralysis. A procedure known as modified selective neurectomy of the facial nerve can enhance the movement of facial muscles in individuals with facial synkinesis safely and effectively. This approach is proposed as an alternative to more invasive surgical options when used independently as a treatment for incomplete facial palsy. Selective neurectomy offers a promising surgical option for managing nonflaccid facial paralysis and synkinesis, enhancing patients' quality of life. However, treatment plans should be individually tailored considering the complexity of facial paralysis and the unique needs of each patient, taking into account the timing and type of treatment. The objective of this review is to explore the use of selective neurectomy as a treatment for facial paralysis based on previously published papers.
