Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation-related bilateral pneumothorax.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2020. 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
Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) devices are frequently used in patients with respiratory muscle weakness to increase their cough peak flow and assist them in improving cough effectiveness and clearing mucus from the airways. An 89-year-old male was admitted to our university hospital due to fever and loss of appetite. He was diagnosed with lung abscess and pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease. He was unable to independently expectorate phlegm due to frailty. Subsequently, MI-E was introduced. On day 3 after its introduction, chest X-ray examination revealed bilateral pneumothorax, and use of the MI-E device was discontinued. After conservatively observing the clinical course, pneumothorax was improved on day 12 after it occurred. Although scientific evidence regarding MI-E is currently limited, healthcare professionals often do not have an alternative in clinical practice. However, treating physicians should consider the risk of MI-E-related pneumothorax, despite its low occurrence rate.
