Article in Integrative medicine (Encinitas, Calif.), 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
Background: Peripheral facial paralysis is clinically characterized by complete facial paralysis of the ipsilateral hemiface, which is accompanied by loss of the corneal reflex, and depending on the level, can affect tear secretion, salivation, taste, and cause auditory alterations. Objective: To report the results obtained from joint management with electroacupuncture and neural therapy in two cases of patients who developed peripheral facial paralysis secondary to neurosurgical procedures. Materials and methods: Two clinical cases of patients with secondary facial paralysis are presented, which were treated jointly with electroacupuncture and neural therapy. Results: The degree of facial motor dysfunction of the patients improved from severe to mild, quantified using the House-Brackmann scale. Conclusions: Joint management using neural therapy and electroacupuncture represents a relevant treatment alternative in patients with secondary facial paralysis.
