Marin-Amat Syndrome: A Case Report of a Rare Facial Synkinesis Following Traumatic Facial Nerve Injury.
Article in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 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
Marin-Amat syndrome is a rare form of facial synkinesis resulting from aberrant connections between the trigeminal and facial nerves. This condition manifests as involuntary eyelid closure upon voluntary jaw movement. It is distinct from the more common Marcus Gunn jaw-winking syndrome (MGJWS), which involves upper eyelid elevation during mastication. Here, we reported a case of a 64-year-old woman who developed this syndrome following combat-related maxillofacial trauma to the lateral mandible, which resulted in a left facial nerve injury. After her mandibular fractures were stabilized using 2 mm plates, her medical history was notable only for hypothyroidism. Six months post-injury, and following an attempted free fibula flap procedure, the patient began experiencing involuntary facial movements. These symptoms caused significant social discomfort and difficulty with eating. Treatment options, including botulinum toxin and surgery, were discussed; however, the patient opted for a conservative management approach.
