A Case Report and Review of Literature on Hirayama Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare, benign, self-limiting condition that typically affects individuals in their 20s. Although the disease is self-limiting, it can result in functional impairment in those affected. The most common presentation is an asymmetrical, unilateral, or bilateral upper limb weakness with wasting. With an interesting pathogenesis and lack of definitive treatment, HD is an interesting neurological conundrum. Mild symptoms in patients often lead to underreporting of the disease, as individuals may not seek medical attention or may not recognize their symptoms. Most case reports in the literature are from Asia and the Middle East. We report a case of HD in a male patient in his 20s with gradual bilateral upper limb weakness and wasting, confirmed by imaging and nerve conduction studies.
