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
Background: The purpose of this study was to describe a case of Eagle syndrome (ES) and its related surgical treatment. Additionally, a literature review of different surgical treatments was performed, with a particular focus on piezosurgery. Methods: We describe a case of ES that was previously treated with an intraoral approach and subsequently with a cervical surgical approach using piezosurgery. A literature review of ES was conducted using Scopus and PubMed with specific keywords. Results: The first surgery, using an intraoral approach to remove the left styloid process, was performed without symptom resolution. Subsequently, bilateral surgery was performed using an extraoral approach. Only 11 articles were selected for ES descriptions. Conclusions: The literature has paid little attention to the use of piezosurgery for ES. The most common treatments are medical management and surgical approaches, including transoral and cervical techniques, with or without endoscopic assistance. Different surgical success rates have been reported. ES treatment is complex and depends on the patient's symptoms and anatomy. Piezosurgery is a precise technique that minimizes the risk of damaging anatomical structures.
