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
Little is documented about the frequency and management of allergic reactions to hypoglossal nerve stimulator implants. This case report describes a 69-year-old female with obstructive sleep apnea who received a hypoglossal nerve stimulator device and had an adverse reaction concerning for an allergic reaction to the medical device. The complication was managed via topical steroids, and although the patient's symptoms initially resolved she experiences continued intermittent maculopapular pruritic rashes approximately once per week. This case report details the patient's presentation, including progression and management, while also highlighting the diagnostic challenges in identifying allergic reactions to medical implants and offering considerations for future management.
