Single incision thoracoscopic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2012. 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
Thoracal sympatectomy for hyperhidrosis and vasospastic vascular diseases is a rare method of surgical treatment. Three patients (1 male, 2 female; mean age 27.6; between 25 and 30) with palmar hyperhidrosis and/or axillary and dorsal hyperhidrosis who underwent single port thoracoscopic sympatectomy were analysed for age, sex, time of operation room, intraoperative and postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. Mean operating room time was 70 min (between 30 and 120 min). Mean length of hospital stay was 1 day. No postoperative complications were noted. Single incision laparoscopic surgery for hyperhidrosis is a safe method of treatment and an alternative to laparoscopy.
