Efficacy of Dynamic Chest Radiography for Evaluating Surgical Treatment of Diaphragmatic Paralysis.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 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
Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) is a novel radiographic technique that evaluates the thoracic movement from inspiration to expiration. Here, we report the efficacy of DCR in the surgical treatment of diaphragmatic paralysis. A 60-year-old woman presented with phrenic nerve palsy after anterior mediastinal resection. Subsequent dynamic chest radiography revealed left diaphragmatic paralysis with paradoxical movement of the bilateral diaphragms during breathing. We folded and sutured the flaccid left diaphragm through surgery. We evaluated the postoperative radiographic findings using DCR. Subsequent postoperative DCR revealed improvement in the left diaphragm paralysis with suppressed left lateral diaphragm displacement during breathing.
