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

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a clinical condition marked by calcification and ossification of primarily ligaments of the spine and peripheral entheses. It predominantly affects older adults, with a prevalence rate of up to 42% in individuals over 65 years. It commonly presents with dysphagia. Stridor secondary to osteophyte compression has rarely been documented. This report discusses a patient who was admitted for alcohol intoxication following binge drinking and subsequently developed respiratory distress and unexplained stridor during hospitalization. He was intubated twice and later diagnosed with cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). The patient was discharged with a tracheostomy tube in situ and referred to a higher center for surgical management.
