Pneumothorax after minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis for midshaft clavicle fracture: A case report.
Article 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
rationaleIsolated fracture of clavicle is usually treated with nonoperative conservative treatment. However, surgical treatment, customized for individual patient's need, is increasingly done. With regard to the surgery of the clavicle fracture, pneumothorax is a possible, but rare complication. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report the case of a 32-year-old healthy female patient who underwent minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) due to a clavicle fracture. To avoid direct exposure of fracture site, the pre-contoured plate was inserted through the lateral incisional port to reach the medial incisional port. There was no problem during the surgery, but the patient complained of dyspnea in the post-anesthesia care unit. DIAGNOSES: A chest radiograph was taken immediately, and a definitive finding of pneumothorax was revealed.
interventionsA tube was inserted at the right chest. OUTCOMES: The patient's dyspnea was resolved. On the 6th day after the surgery, the chest radiograph revealed that pneumothorax was nearly resolved, enabling to remove the chest tube. On the 9th day after the surgery, the patient was discharged without complication. LESSONS: After clavicle surgery requiring strong dissection like MIPO, the possibility of pneumothorax is suspected and the patient should be carefully observed.
