Cervical Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis: Rare Cause of Emergency Tracheostomy.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 rare and potentially life-threatening syndrome. We present the case of a patient complaining about severe dyspnoea and diagnosed with vocal cord paresis. An emergency tracheotomy was performed to restore his breathing. Diagnostic imaging revealed large mass-occupying cervical osteophytes compressing the larynx. The osteophytes were removed via an anterior cervical approach, and vital signs were normalized. However, postoperatively, a fistula was discovered between the upper part of the oesophagus and the trachea. As a result, a gastrostomy tube had to be placed indefinitely. Literature review confirms the rare frequency of emergency tracheostomy due to DISH syndrome. The aim of the present study is to expand on our knowledge of a rare pathological entity that can frequently be misdiagnosed.
