Large Zenker's Diverticulum: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is a type of esophageal diverticulum, a relatively rare disease in the pharyngoesophageal area. It is a pulsion diverticulum, or false diverticulum, located dorsally at the wall between the pharynx and esophagus. This area is known as Killian's triangle or dehiscence and is a region of relative weakness. Common symptoms of ZD include dysphagia, choking, persistent cough, loss of weight, hoarseness, halitosis, regurgitation of undigested food, and borborygmi within the cervical region. We are reporting a case of oropharyngeal dysphagia due to a ZD in a 65-year-old man with a history of worsening dysphagia for two years. Clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options for ZD are discussed, along with the underlying pathophysiology of this condition.
