Pneumothorax in Patients with Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.
Article in Lung, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionPneumothorax often develops in pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH), but some patients take a long time to be correctly diagnosed.
objectivesThis study assessed the frequency of pneumothorax in PLCH and analysed the role of chest computed tomography (CT) in the prompt diagnosis. PATIENTS AND MATERIAL: Of the 90 patients with PLCH seen from 2000 to 2015, 29 (32%) had pneumothorax as the initial finding. In this group, 18 (62%) patients were diagnosed within 1 month, whereas the diagnosis was delayed for 4-120 months in 11 (38%) patients.
resultsPatients who had pneumothorax as the initial sign of PLCH tended to be younger (mean age 27.7 ± 7.92 vs. 39.9 ± 13.21 years; P = 0.0001), male (69% vs. 43%; P = 0.028), smoked less (mean pack/years 8.4 ± 6.85 vs. 19 ± 17.16; P = 0.003), and had a significantly lower mean FVC (77.96 ± 19.62 vs. 89.47 ± 21.86% pred.; P = 0.015) and FEV
conclusionsPatients who had pneumothorax as the initial sign of PLCH were younger, more frequently men, and had greater respiratory impairment than those who had no pneumothorax. CT in patients with pneumothorax led to a correct diagnosis of this disease.
