Simultaneous Bilateral Spontaneous Pneumothorax in an Adult Patient With Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 of a young female with known history of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis who was initially presented in the emergency department of a university hospital with respiratory distress. Clinical assessment and diagnostic workup revealed left hemithorax subcutaneous emphysema, bilateral pneumothorax, and atelectasis in both lower lung lobes. The patient was treated with bilateral staged thoracoscopic bullectomy and mechanical abrasion of the parietal pleura combined with chemical pleurodesis with talc. A new occurrence of right-sided pneumothorax was noticed 3 days after surgery, which was treated with chest tube insertion and chemical pleurodesis. The aforementioned surgical approach resulted in complete lung expansion and the patient's full recovery. A review of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and treatment options in cases of pneumothorax due to lung histiocytosis is also presented in this report.
