Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax in a 42 years old woman with pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis: insights and pitfalls of the surgical treatment.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 2013. 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
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease that occurs predominantly in females between the ages of 30 and 50 years and is clinically characterized by progressive dyspnoea on exertion, recurrent pneumothoraces, abdominal and thoracic lymphadenopathy, as well tumors-like angiomyolipomas and lymphangiomyomas. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman, who developed recurrent pneumothoraces and was subsequently diagnosed with LAM. Although pneumothorax is a common complication of the disease, its optimal approach to treatment and prevention remains unclear. Chemical or surgical pleurodesis are often performed in order to prevent recurrence, but may predispose to perioperative complications in the event of future lung transplantation.
