Hemidiaphragmatic Paralysis Due to Cervical Spondylosis: A Case Report.
Article in Spine surgery and related research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionC4 radiculopathy due to cervical spondylosis has rarely been reported as a cause of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis. CASE REPORT: A 70-year-old man presented with hemidiaphragmatic paralysis due to right C3-C4 foraminal stenosis. The diagnosis was made preoperatively from findings on plain chest radiographs, respiratory function tests, and electrophysiologic tests. All the patient's test results and symptoms improved immediately after surgical treatment for cervical spondylosis.
conclusionsAlthough it may be difficult to make a correct diagnosis based only on radiological findings at the cervical spine, we should be aware of the existence of this entity and pay close attention to chest radiographs.
