Facial Nerve Palsy after Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block: A Rare Presentation of Ocular Complication and Literature Review.
Article in Reports (MDPI), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Many ocular complications are described in the literature after dental injections. Facial nerve palsy is a rare complication. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman in the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I classification under orthodontic treatment with aligners that required an inferior alveolar block for endodontic treatment. Optocaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 and a disposable needle 25 G × 36 mm mounted on a dental syringe were used, and the effect of the anesthesia arose after 10 min. Facial nerve palsy on the side of the injection arose after 1 h and 40 min from the injection, and the patient was immediately visited by an ophthalmologist who reported the examination reported in the present case report. The authors report this unusual case with a subsequent onset and short duration of facial nerve palsy and discuss possible anesthetic solution pathways.
