1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cranial fibrous dysplasia (FD) syndrome is a benign, rare, and idiopathic skeletal disorder characterized by the replacement and expansion of medullary bone by disorganized fibro-osseous tissue. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is most commonly caused by vascular compression at the trigeminal nerve root entry zone. Secondary TN caused by cranial FD syndrome is extremely rare. This article reports a case of cranial FD syndrome in which the lesion resulted in posterior cranial fossa narrowing, leading to the occurrence of TN. We located the patient's foramen ovale with robotic navigation, and we effectively treated the patient's TN with balloon compression.
