Diaphragmatic Dysfunction Following Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in a Patient With Concomitant Sleep Disordered Breathing: A Case Report.
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
Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis (UDP) is a frequent complication following cardiac surgery, usually affecting the left hemidiaphragm. Here, we present a case of a right-sided UDP following endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which is far more uncommon. A 60-year-old male patient presented at our outpatient clinic with exertional dyspnoea and orthopnoea. Breathing sounds were diminished upon auscultation of the right lung base. He recently underwent a CABG through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We documented a new right-sided UDP as well as severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) in this patient. We started inspiratory muscle training for the diaphragm palsy as well as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy to ameliorate his OSAS since this is negatively influenced by UDP. The combination of this particular surgical method, the concomitant OSAS, and the right side of the UDP make this a unique case. In this report, we will briefly summarize several aspects of diaphragmatic dysfunction in the post-CABG setting, with a thorough focus on the role of ultrasound in its diagnosis and follow-up.
