Transoral Styloidectomy for Eagle Syndrome: A Case Report With Intraoperative Footage.

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
Eagle syndrome is a rare condition resulting from an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament compressing adjacent anatomical structures. The condition typically manifests with unilateral neck pain, facial discomfort, odynophagia, and, in some cases, neurological disturbances. Among the available treatment options, transoral styloidectomy is one of the two primary surgical approaches. Despite its technical simplicity and clinical advantages, this approach is infrequently utilized due to the rarity of this syndrome and limited surgical training materials. This technical report presents a detailed account of the transoral approach to styloidectomy, performed in conjunction with tonsillectomy, and supported by intraoperative video documentation. The described case involved a 64-year-old female diagnosed with bilateral elongated styloid processes (4.15 cm on the left and 4.00 cm on the right), who underwent transoral styloidectomy combined with tonsillectomy. The visual documentation presented in this report outlines the essential technical steps of the procedure and serves as an effective educational tool, facilitating the training of surgeons in this relatively straightforward but rarely performed procedure.
