Axillary nerve palsy consequent to a guided manual stretch of the upper extremities: a case report.

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
Reflexive breathing therapy and complementary manual therapy aim to improve breathing by mobilizing the chest, reducing the muscle tone of the breath supporting muscles, and improving secretion and chest wall compliance. We describe an uncommon case of axillary nerve (AN) palsy in association with a treatment session of reflexive breathing therapy combined with manual therapy. After a therapist's guided intensive movement of crossed arms in front of the body, upward, as high as possible, a sudden ache in the left shoulder that radiated to the lateral upper arm occurred along with loss of elevation and abduction of the shoulder. An electrophysiological examination demonstrated a diminished and delayed compound muscle action potential that indicated AN injury. Following conservative treatment, the nerve dysfunction resolved completely. Stretching of the nerve may have resulted in tearing some nerve fibers and is discussed as a possible pathophysiological mechanism.
