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

A 56-year-old man presented with right-sided drooping of the mouth corner and eyelid, along with weakness in the left lower limb. His MRI revealed a corona radiata lacunar infarction on the left and an acute infarction on the right. However, the needle electromyography (EMG) results were unremarkable. It was determined that his unilateral peripheral facial paralysis (PFP)-like symptoms were secondary to bilateral corona radiata infarctions. This case highlights that some patients with cerebral strokes may present with PFP-like symptoms. To minimize misdiagnosis, clinicians should consider the possibility of central lesions manifesting as PFP.
