Central Venous Catheter Based Closed Thoracic Drainage in the Treatment of Tuberculous Pleuritis.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. 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
objectiveTo explore the clinical effect of central venous catheter closed thoracic drainage in the treatment of tuberculous pleurisy.
methodsOne hundred and four patients with tuberculous pleurisy who were admitted to Binzhou People's Hospital from August 2016 to August 2017 were divided into a control group and a treatment group according to random number table method, 52 each. The control group was treated with conventional pleural puncture and drainage, while the treatment group was treated with closed central venous catheter based thoracic drainage. The clinical efficacy, improvement time of clinical symptoms, total volume of drainage, pleural thickness, and improvement of quality of life and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
resultsPleural effusion, fever and chest tightness of the treatment group disappeared earlier (P<0.05); the hospitalization time in the treatment group was less than that in the control group (P<0.05); the total amount of drainage in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); the pleural thickness of the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); the quality of life score in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rates of the treatment group and the control group were 93.5% and 85%, respectively, with a significant difference (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group, with a significant difference (P<0.05).
conclusionCentral venous catheter based closed thoracic drainage is more effective than conventional thoracic puncture and drainage in the treatment of tuberculous pleurisy. It can accelerate the improvement of clinical symptoms, improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce the incidence of complications. It is worth popularizing and applying.
