Right thoracotomy approach for treatment of left bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy for tubercolosis.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2020. 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
Pneumonectomy for pulmonary tuberculosis is a rare option but can sometimes be necessary in cases of destroyed lung, resulting from a previous or persistent chronic infection. Bronchopleural fistula on the bronchial stump may develop as a postoperative complication, favoured by the long-lasting infectious disease and the poor nutritional status. Right-sided approach can be used for treatment of left bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy. We report a rare case of left bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy for pulmonary tuberculosis in a 38-year-old woman, treated by re-closure and re-stapling of the left main bronchial stump through a right thoracotomy approach. The patient is in excellent general condition and without evidence of bronchopleural fistula and tuberculosis at 3 years from re-closure of the left bronchial stump through right thoracotomy. This approach allowed a successful and safe management of our case of left bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy for tuberculosis, without short and long-term complications.
