Chronic Brachial Plexus Neuritis That Developed into Typical Neuralgic Amyotrophy and Positively Responded to Immunotherapy.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Based on the hypothesis that autoimmunity plays a role in the pathogenesis of neuralgic amyotrophy (NA), immunotherapy is sometimes administered. Early intervention is recommended for a good prognosis. We herein report the case of a 55-year-old man who presented with neuralgia, weakness, and muscle atrophy in his right shoulder girdle and upper arm, which progressed for ten months following a marine sports accident. The patient was diagnosed with NA. His neurological deficits gradually improved after several courses of immunotherapy, suggesting that in addition to being effective for treating early-stage disease, immunotherapy may be effective for treating chronic cases.
