Isolated unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy after septoturbinoplasty: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical 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
Hypoglossal nerve palsy is a rare complication following general anesthesia, typically observed after prolonged surgical procedures. This case report discusses a 27-year-old male patient with no significant past medical or surgical history who developed isolated right-sided hypoglossal nerve palsy following an uneventful septoturbinoplasty surgery. The hypoglossal nerve, vulnerable to injury during intubation due to its anatomical course, may result in symptoms such as swallowing difficulties, speech impairment, and tongue deviation. Prompt identification is essential to differentiate it from other serious conditions, such as stroke or airway obstruction. Treatment typically involves steroid therapy, with most cases showing improvement within months. Following oral prednisolone treatment, the patient experienced relief in tongue movements after 1 month, with further partial improvement after 2 months, leading to full clinical recovery by the end of the second month. Careful management during intubation and surgical procedures can help prevent this complication. This case underscores the importance of vigilance and proper management in minimizing the risk of hypoglossal nerve palsy during perioperative care.
