Usefulness of the Electrocardiogram in a Patient Presenting with Right-Sided Pneumothorax and Presyncope.

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
We present the case of a 71-year-old man with history of smoking, pulmonary emphysema, hypertension, multivessel coronary artery disease and prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery who presented with spontaneous right-sided pneumothorax associated with phasic changes of the QRS amplitude on the electrocardiogram. While several case reports have described QRS amplitude changes associated with left-sided pneumothorax, reports of phasic ECG changes in right-sided pneumothorax are exceedingly rare. Such changes, when present in a patient with sudden onset chest pain and dyspnea, should prompt a diagnostic workup for possible pneumothorax.
