Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia to trigeminal neuralgia: case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a dilated arterial disease with a diameter ˃4.5 mm. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is chronic neuropathic pain. Through the diagnosis and treatment of this case we believe that there is a significant risk associated with the endovascular treatment of VBD. The development of post-operative complications caused some functional impairment to the patient, but the improvement in TN symptoms with this endovascular treatment was unexpected. This treatment procedure was considered to be possibly related to the alteration of the tortuous path of the vessels, changing their course, allowing the displacement of vascular compression in the trigeminal root entry zone, and possibly also altering the hemodynamics of the posterior circulation, improving the progression of ischemia and hypoxia-induced demyelination of the trigeminal nerve. Due to the low incidence of this disease, there are not enough large sample studies for systematic statistical analysis.
