A Rare Triad of Congenital Facial, Abducens, and Hypoglossal Nerve Palsies: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Moebius syndrome is a rare congenital neurological disorder characterized primarily by nonprogressive facial and abducens nerve palsy. Involvement of additional cranial nerves is uncommon. We describe an eight-year-old boy presenting with left-sided facial nerve palsy, hypoglossal nerve atrophy, and absence of the abducens nerve. Clinical examination revealed facial deviation, restricted ocular abduction, tongue atrophy, and feeding and speech difficulties - features consistent with a mild Moebius spectrum. MRI demonstrated hypoplasia of the left facial nerve, absence of the left abducens nerve, and atrophy of the right half of the tongue, confirming hypoglossal involvement. This case underscores the importance of early recognition and detailed MRI evaluation to detect atypical cranial nerve anomalies in children with Moebius syndrome.
