Pathological diagnosis of thoracic endometriosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A 26-year-old woman, who underwent abdominal surgery because of pelvic endometriosis, suffered from upper abdominal pain, fever and dyspnoea 2 days postoperatively. Paralytic ileus and right-sided pneumothorax were revealed. Treatment with a chest drain was not successful and, thus, a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed, revealing endometriosis-like lesions. Basic histopathology did not confirm the visual diagnosis, but additional immunohistochemical staining for oestrogen and progesterone receptors showed positive reaction in epithelial lung cells, thus proved the diagnosis thoracic endometriosis. A resection of the apex of the right upper lobe and pleurodesis by talc poudrage was performed after which a mesh graft was applied on the diaphragm. After 5 years of follow-up, no recurrent pneumothorax occurred.
