Bilateral Pneumothorax Complicating Pacemaker Implantation, due to Puncture of the Left Subclavian Vein and Electrode Perforation of the Right Atrium.
Article in Cureus, 2020. 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
Pneumothorax occurs mostly due to needle injury of the pleura when trying to get access to the subclavian vein and rarely due to electrode perforation. The present case report is the first case presented about acute simultaneous iatrogenic bilateral pneumothorax due to puncture of the left subclavian vein and electrode perforation of the atrial wall, the pericardium, and the pleura. Risk factors, and how to avoid these complications, are highlighted, and symptoms, diagnostics, and management of pneumothorax and cardiac perforation are described.
