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

Point-of-care lung ultrasound is a widely used tool in the diagnosis and management of patients with pulmonary diseases and now with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We describe two cases of pneumothorax which are, as far as we know, among the first reported in COVID-19 patients younger than 18 years. The diagnostic and monitoring role of point-of-care lung ultrasound has been extremely useful in the management of patients.
