Cervical Spine Osteophyte: A Case Report of an Unusual Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition that causes abnormal bone growth at the sites of ligament insertion, mainly in the spine. It is of unknown etiology and usually affects older males. It is often asymptomatic, but it can sometimes cause dysphagia if it affects the anterior cervical spine. We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient with DISH who presented with chronic dysphagia and was diagnosed with a large cervical osteophyte compressing the esophagus. The patient had a history of several comorbidities, including diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and gout. He underwent surgical removal of the osteophyte and recovered well. We discuss the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment options for this rare complication of DISH.
