1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 is an extremely common entity that is typically readily diagnosed and treated. Standard treatment for a small pneumothorax in an otherwise healthy patient is oxygen and observation. For many cases of pneumothorax (those that are larger, more symptomatic, occur in patients with underlying lung disease, or occur in patients who live far from an emergency facility), treatment includes needle aspiration or chest tube placement. We report the clinical presentation and imaging appearance of a 47-year-old female who had a trocar traverse the heart during pleural chest tube placement. Based on this case, policies in the emergency department were reviewed and quality measures were improved.
