Pulmonary carcinoid presenting with persistent pneumothorax.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Lung neuroendocrine tumours (Lung NETs) are a rare group of pulmonary neoplasms often characterised by insidious clinical behaviour. Lung NET account for ~1%-2% of all lung malignancies in adults and 30% of all NETs. Incidence ranges from 0.2 to 2/100 000 population per year. While some patients may be asymptomatic, others may present with obstructive symptoms due to mass effect. Incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax as a complication of lung neoplasms is rare (0.05%-1.4% of all pneumothoraces). In this report, we present a case of recurrent pneumothorax due to Lung NET that was refractory to conservative management. We also discuss the diagnostic methods as well as surgical management approach, which is considered the treatment of choice in such tumours.
