Management of Airway Obstruction due to Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis in the Cervical Spine: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a relatively common progressive noninflammatory entheses disease. Patients are often asymptomatic or are undiagnosed due to minor chronic symptoms. We herein report a rare case in which the primary symptom was sudden-onset upper airway obstruction due to exuberant osteophytosis in the cervical spine. Treatment was successful with careful airway management and surgical osteophyectomy. Most DISH cases in the literature with airway obstruction have been managed with tracheotomy. However, the safety and necessity of this approach remain questionable. We herein discuss the possibility of conservative management as a choice of airway control. Airway obstruction due to DISH may be underrecognized. This highlights the importance of including DISH in the differential diagnosis of airway obstruction. In addition, a detailed evaluation and personalized care for each individual case is essential.
