Surgical Excision of a Laimer's Diverticulum: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Maedica, 2024. 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
A pharyngoesophageal diverticulum (PED) is a rare clinical entity. This paper reports on a 79-year-old male patient with PED and symptoms of dysphagia, regurgitation and chronic cough. The diverticulum was located on the dorsal side of the cervical esophagus, midline, inferior to the cricopharyngeal muscle. These findings were consistent with Laimer's diverticulum (LD), the rarest type of PED. This case proposes a surgical treatment of LD via an external transcervical approach.
