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

Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain is one of the rare complications that could follow orofacial procedures such as dental extraction. The incidence of this type of pain following craniofacial trauma ranges between 3% and 13% depending on the type of surgery. The inferior alveolar and lingual nerves are commonly affected following molar tooth extraction. Pain usually differs from one patient to another concerning intensity and distribution. Pulsed radiofrequency treatment is one of the most widely used techniques in chronic pain management. It focuses on generating heat using radiofrequency waves at higher voltages than conventional radiofrequency while keeping tissue temperature below the neuro-destructive range. This report aims to highlight the benefit of using trigeminal ganglion pulsed radiofrequency to manage neuropathic pain following molar extraction.
