Lateral Epicondylitis of the Elbow in an Airline Pilot Regarding Throttle Lever Operation.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Lateral epicondylitis is a degenerative condition affecting the origin of the extensor tendon in the forearm. It is the primary etiology of elbow pain in adults and is also a frequently reported ailment in various occupational sectors. Herein, we present a case of lateral epicondylitis in an airline pilot. The etiology was supposed to be the frequent and prolonged use of throttle levers in the at-risk limb position, i.e., forearm pronation and wrist dorsiflexion. Despite limited treatment options due to aeromedical standards, the patient recovered after approximately one month, primarily by means of physical therapy and improving the working posture. In general, pilots are subject to strict medical standards and may not receive standard treatments. There are also reports of treatment withdrawal and concealment of disease due to fear of losing their license. The treatment of pilots requires special consideration based on doctor-patient trust and occasionally collaboration with experts in aviation medicine, such as aeromedical examiners.
