Late-onset bronchopleural fistula after lobectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for lung cancer: A case report and review of the literature.
Review in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
rationaleLate-onset bronchopleural fistula (BPF) induced by chemotherapy after lobectomy for lung cancer is rarely reported, lacking reliable preventive approaches. A timely identification and individualized treatment is essential for prognosis. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 52-year-old female patient complained of fever, productive cough, and fatigue 1 week after adjuvant chemotherapy following right lower lobectomy and systemic mediastinal lymph node dissection. Chest computed tomography (CT) indicated pneumothorax and thick-walled empyema cavity within her right-sided thorax. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed as late-onset BPF based on clinical manifestation and chest radiography.
interventionsIn addition to antibiotics, a chest tube was reinserted under CT guidance, and vacuum suction was utilized for continuous drainage. Next cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy was terminated. OUTCOMES: The empyema cavity was gradually closed in 1 month after conservative treatment, and the patient survived with good condition up to now. LESSONS: Late-onset BPF should be kept in mind when the patient suffered from productive cough and chills during postoperative chemotherapy. And a prompt conservative management might be effective.
