Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Management of Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 an excruciating neurological disorder characterized by intense, stimulus-induced, and transient facial stabbing pain. The classification of TN has changed as a result of new discoveries in the last decade regarding its symptomatology, pathogenesis, and management. Because different types of facial pain have different clinical therapy and neuroimaging interpretations, a precise diagnosis is essential. Diagnosis should include magnetic resonance imaging with specific sequences to rule out secondary causes and to identify possible neurovascular contact. The purpose of demonstrating a neurovascular contact is to aid in surgical decision making, not to validate a diagnosis. Microvascular decompression is the first-line procedure for individuals who do not respond to medical management, whereas carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the preferred medications for long-term care. New developments in animal models and neuroimaging methods will shed more light on the biology and etiology of TN. This paper reviews the pathogenesis, the clinical features, the diagnosis, and the management of TN. Furthermore, the potential role of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in neurological disorders is discussed.
