Risk factors for recurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax after thoracoscopic surgery.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRecurrence of pneumothorax after thoracoscopic surgery is a concerning issue for thoracic surgeons. In this study, we aimed to determine the risk factors for recurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax after thoracoscopic surgery.
methodsA total of 192 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax aged <50 years who underwent thoracoscopic surgery from January 2010 to December 2016 were included in this study. Pre- and post-operative characteristics were obtained from medical records, and recurrent and non-recurrent cases were compared.
resultsFourteen patients (7.3%) experienced pneumothorax recurrence. Pneumothorax recurrence was observed more frequently in patients aged <20 years (P=0.041) and those in whom bullae were not identified on preoperative computed tomography (CT) (P=0.049). The use of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets during surgery significantly decreased the recurrence rate (P=0.031). A history of ipsilateral pneumothorax before surgery was a significant risk factor for recurrence after thoracoscopic surgery (P=0.001). In the multivariate analysis, a history of ipsilateral pneumothorax and identification of bullae on CT were identified as significant risk factors for recurrence.
conclusionsA history of ipsilateral pneumothorax, and inability to identify bullae on preoperative CT were risk factors for postoperative recurrence of pneumothorax.
