Pediatric pneumothorax: Case studies and review of current literature.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air between the lung and chest wall. Pneumothorax management guidelines put forth by the American College of Chest Physicians, European Respiratory Society, and British Thoracic Society are specific to adult patients. These guidelines' utility has not been addressed in pediatric populations, which causes significant management variation in younger patients. Additionally, pneumothorax management ranges from conservative to surgical treatment, but these approaches, timelines, and effectiveness have not been validated in significant numbers of pediatric patients. Here, we present three cases of pediatric pneumothorax with variable clinical courses-one with persistent air leak despite chest tube presence who underwent VATS and surgical resection of apical blebs. In contrast, the other two cases were managed more conservatively. We reviewed the current literature for diagnostic and management of pediatric patients with pneumothorax, which underscores the need for guidelines specific to this population.
