Assessment of Pleural Effusion and Small Pleural Drain Insertion by Resident Doctors in an Intensive Care Unit: An Observational Study.
Article in Clinical medicine insights. Circulatory, respiratory and pulmonary medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Small-bore pleural drainage device insertion has become a first-line therapy for the treatment of pleural effusions (PLEFF) in the intensive care unit; however, no data are available regarding the performance of resident doctors in the execution of this procedure. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of complications related to ultrasound-guided percutaneous small-bore pleural drain insertion by resident doctors. In this single-center observational study, the primary outcome was the occurrence of complications. Secondary outcomes studied were as follows: estimation of PLEFF size by ultrasound and postprocedure changes in PaO
