Eagle's syndrome: two approaches using VITOM 3D exoscope for an underestimated pathology.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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's Syndrome is a rare condition caused by a particularly elongated styloid process or ossification phenomena of the styloid ligament. It shows up with a triad of symptoms characterized by a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, dysphagia, and unilateral neck-facial. Case 1: A 43-year-old man with right lateral cervical pain and dysphagia underwent styloidectomy using a transoral approach. Case 2: 71-year-old man with right lateral cervical pain, tongue motility deficit, and dysphagia, who underwent styloidectomy using a transcervical approach. The surgery was performed using the VITOM 3D exoscope. The two approaches are both practical. The transoral approach, when feasible, is used to minimize surgical times and postoperative complications. The transcervical approach allows for excellent visualization of the anatomical structures. Moreover, this article aimed to document our experience using a 3D VITOM exoscope, which provides significant advantages in both transoral and transcervical approach.
