Trans-mediastinal herniation of pulmonary bulla with paradoxical pneumothorax.

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
Trans-mediastinal herniation of a lung bullae is an extremely rare condition. Here we present a case of a 75-year-old patient with a clinical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema presenting with a right contralateral pneumothorax secondary to a trans-mediastinal herniated lung bullae. Herniation occurred through a mediastinal pleural defect; we call this event a paradoxical pneumothorax. To our knowledge this is the first report in the medical literature. The patient was successfully treated using a VATS approach with a right pleurodesis, a left thoracoscopic trans-mediastinal hernia reduction and bullectomy.
