Compensatory sweating after restricting or lowering the level of sympathectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04721483 (Selective T3-T4 Sympathicotomy Versus Gray Ramicotomy on Outcome and Quality of Life in Hyperhidrosis Patients. A Randomized Clinical Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo compare compensatory sweating after lowering or restricting the level of sympathectomy.
methodA systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted of all randomized controlled trials published in English that compared compensatory sweating after lowering or restricting the level of sympathectomy. The Cochrane collaboration tool was used to assess the risk of bias, and the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio method was used for the meta-analysis.
resultsA total of 11 randomized controlled trials were included, including a total of 1079 patients. Five of the randomized controlled trials studied restricting the level of sympathectomy, and the remaining six studied lowering the level of sympathectomy.
conclusionsThe compiled randomized controlled trial results published so far in the literature do not support the claims that lowering or restricting the level of sympathetic ablation results in less compensatory sweating.
