Dysphagia following lumbar spine surgery in the setting of undiagnosed DISH of the cervical spine: a case report.
Article in AME case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Dysphagia is an often multifactorial pathology affecting many elderly patients. In addition to global neuromuscular change with normal aging, one component of its etiology may be direct compression of the pharynx or esophagus from overgrown bone from the anterior cervical spine. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is one condition that may contribute to this phenomenon. Of relatively high incidence (2.5% to 33.3%) in elderly populations, DISH has been described in the cervical spine though more frequently affects other spinal regions. The clinical case of an elderly man who developed significant dysphagia after undergoing lumbar spine surgery for spinal stenosis caused by DISH is presented. Awareness of the involvement in his cervical spine before surgery would likely have enabled a more prompt diagnosis of the etiology of dysphagia and allowed for peri-operative optimization of swallowing function to reduce morbidity. We recommend routine preoperative imaging of the cervical spine in all patients with a diagnosis of DISH to stratify risk for development of postoperative dysphagia.
