Pleural abrasion should not routinely preferred in treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03943069 (Thoracoscopic Bullectomy Versus Thoracoscopic Bullectomy and Pleurodesis For Management of Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax; A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study was to find out whether thoracoscopic bullectomy with pleural abrasion (BLPA) could lower the recurrence ratio in primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) patients compared with bullectomy alone.
methodsAll PSP patients who underwent video assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) bullectomy (120 bullectomy cases) or BLPA (225 BLPA cases) in our department between 2008.1 and 2013.12 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data, perioperative data, and follow-up information were collected. Propensity score analysis was used in balancing preoperative factors between groups.
resultsThree hundred and forty five patients (283 men and 62 women) with an average age of 27 (27.32±11.41) years old underwent 120 bullectomy and 225 BLPA in this study. There was no mortality or significant complication in both groups. More postoperative drainage (1,170.66±904.02
conclusionsCompared with bullectomy, BLPA could provide similar recurrence for PSP patients, but at the price of longer operation days, longer chest tube removal days, and more medical cost, and should not be performed in PSP patients.
