1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a multifocal inflammatory neuropathy accompanied by acute pain and muscle atrophy. NA commonly affects the upper extremities, but rarely affects the phrenic nerve. Here, we report a male with neck pain, orthopnea, difficulty sleeping in the supine position, and inability to slurp. His saturated oxygen level decreased from 97% to 86% in the supine position. His right shoulder showed muscle atrophy. Chest X-ray examination in the supine position and a nerve conduction study showed phrenic palsy. We diagnosed it as bilateral phrenic nerve palsy associated with NA. NA sometimes causes phrenic nerve palsy and may cause slurping difficulty.
