Partial Anterior Opercular Syndrome as Surgical Complication: Case Presentation and Brief Review of Literature.
Article in Case reports in neurological medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Anterior opercular syndrome (a.k.a. Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome) is a rare neurological condition, described as a paralysis of the mouth and tongue usually caused by a bilateral lesion of the frontal opercular area. The patient presents with speaking, chewing, and swallowing impairment, but autonomic and emotional functions-like smiling and yawning-are typically preserved. We present our patient's clinical data after critical analysis, together with a brief literature review about anterior opercular syndrome caused by unilateral opercular lesions. To our knowledge, less than 20 cases of anterior opercular syndrome caused by unilateral lesions are described in the literature. In some patients, a contralateral lesion can be detected on brain imaging in regions different from the anterior opercular cortex. This syndrome can rarely occur as a consequence of unilateral opercular cortex damage. The possible role of contralateral lesions located in neuronal pathways functionally related to the anterior operculum requires further investigation.
