Sleeve Gastrectomy in a Patient With Left Hemidiaphragm Paralysis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis is a disorder in which one side of the diaphragm loses the capacity to contract to allow for adequate inspiration. The majority of patients suffering from unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis are asymptomatic and do not require treatment. The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common bariatric surgical operation. In this case report, I present the case of a 36-year-old male with congenital left hemidiaphragm paralysis who had LSG for the treatment of morbid obesity. This case demonstrates the efficacy and feasibility of LSG in patients with asymptomatic hemidiaphragm paralysis. During surgery, surgeons must pay close attention to a variety of factors, including a stomach fundus that is situated high in a subcostal region with a narrow space to work.
