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

Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is an extremely rare pulmonary pathology seen in women of reproductive age, typically occurring within 72 hours from the onset of menstrual bleeding. Multiple theories have been proposed to explain the etiopathogenesis of CP; however, the exact underlying mechanism remains elusive. More than 90% of reported cases in the literature describe a right-sided presentation of pneumothorax. In this case report, we describe a rare left-sided presentation of CP and discuss the current literature on underlying etiopathogenesis, diagnostics, and available therapeutic modalities for managing this rare clinical entity.
