A Case Series on Unilateral Elevation of Diaphragm.
Article in Maedica, 2026. 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
We report a case series of seven patients aged 24 to 78 years who presented with unilateral elevation of the diaphragm secondary to diverse underlying mechanisms. The diagnoses included sarcoidosis-related pulmonary inflammation, gallbladder adenomyomatosis with sepsis and metabolic derangement, pulmonary tuberculosis with Chilaiditi's syndrome, acute pulmonary embolism with diaphragmatic eventration, superior vena cava syndrome due to non-small cell lung carcinoma, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia with an incidental thymic cyst and pyogenic liver abscess. This series emphasizes that unilateral diaphragmatic elevation should not be attributed only to phrenic nerve injury or primary diaphragmatic paralysis; pulmonary, abdominal, vascular, mediastinal and inflammatory causes should also be systematically evaluated. Early identification and treatment of the primary disorder resulted in clinical improvement and radiological normalization in most reversible cases.
