Spindle cell sarcoma: a rare cause of a spontaneous pneumothorax.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Secondary spontaneous pneumothoraces are associated with a variety of lung disorders. Malignancy is a rare cause of a pneumothorax and rarely the presenting feature. Cavitating primary tumours are less frequent causes of pneumothoraces than secondary tumours. We present the case of an asymptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax in a 71-year-old never-smoking woman. Her right apical pneumothorax was diagnosed by chance on a chest radiograph for a fall. Her final diagnosis was a primary spindle cell sarcoma of the pleura. This case demonstrates the need to explore the underlying causes of a non-resolving pneumothorax. The early diagnosis of her sarcoma allowed curative treatment.
