Novel Diagnosis and Treatment for Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This article presents a unique diagnostic test for the neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (nTOS). nTOS is one of the most misdiagnosed and controversial medical problems; the diagnosis is clinical, and there are few specific diagnostic criteria for this condition. We would like to share this unique diagnostic modality, the Tafler test, with medical professionals. The Tafler test helps diagnose nTOS, differentiate it from cervical radiculopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome, and effectively tailor treatment for its symptoms. The following case series aims to describe several patients with nTOS who had failed previous treatment with surgery, physical therapy, and analgesics. The implementation of the Tafler test as a treatment modality in combination with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and physical therapeutic modalities led to significant improvements in treatment efficiency.
