Pontine Hemorrhage Mimicking Bell's Palsy: Isolated Facial Nerve Palsy-A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in neurological medicine, 2026. 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
Bell's palsy, the most common cause of idiopathic peripheral facial palsy, is typically attributed to viral reactivation; however, rare cases due to cerebrovascular disease must always be considered in the differential diagnosis. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with poorly controlled hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and a history of smoking who presented with progressive left-sided facial paralysis over four days. Initially suspected to have Bell's palsy due to the lower motor neuron pattern and gradual onset, further neuroimaging revealed a different etiology. T2
