Twists of trouble: AICA loops as the culprit in hemifacial spasm.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The highly variable anatomy of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery is one of the causative factors of neurovascular compression of the facial and vestibulocochlear nerve resulting in hemifacial spasms associated with hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus. Our patient a 64-year-old male presented with such complaints for the past few months. He was investigated thoroughly for the cause and on Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with Fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition sequence it was evident that the anterior inferior cerebellar artery loop was compressing the seventh and eighth cranial nerves on the right side. This was responsible for the patient's symptoms. He also had sensorineural hearing loss in the right ear. He was started on symptomatic treatment as he denied any surgical intervention.
