1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic pain disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of sudden facial pain. Unfortunately, there are few options to adequately prevent attacks of TN and even fewer options for rescue therapy during acute episodes. Successful treatment of TN pain with the readily available 1% formulation, typically used for local anesthesia, has not yet been demonstrated. We present a case report of a 37-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with severe, debilitating TN pain and achieved significant relief within 20 minutes of intranasal (IN) atomized 1% lidocaine.
