Neuronavigated percutaneous gasserian radiofrequency thermorhizotomy for trigeminal neuralgia: how I do it.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRadiofrequency thermorhizotomy (TRZ) is an established treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). TRZ can result risky and painful in a consistent subset of patients, due to the need to perform multiple trajectories, before a successful foramen ovale cannulation. Moreover, intraoperative x-rays are required.
methodTRZ has been performed by using a neuronavigated stylet, before trajectory planning on a dedicated workstation.
conclusionNavigated-TRZ (N-TRZ) meets the expectations of a safer and more tolerable procedure due to the use of a single trajectory, avoiding critical structures. Moreover, N-TRZ is x-ray free. Efficacy outcomes are similar to those reported in literature.
