Regional respiratory sound abnormalities in pneumothorax and pleural effusion detected via respiratory sound visualization and quantification: case report.

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
Assessment of respiratory sounds by auscultation with a conventional stethoscope is subjective. We developed a continuous monitoring and visualization system that enables objectively and quantitatively visualizing respiratory sounds. We herein present two cases in which the system showed regional differences in the respiratory sounds. We applied our novel continuous monitoring and visualization system to evaluate respiratory abnormalities in patients with acute chest disorders. Respiratory sounds were continuously recorded to assess regional changes in respiratory sound volumes. Because we used this system as a pilot study, the results were not shown in real time and were retrospectively analyzed. Case 1 An 89-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for sudden-onset respiratory distress and hypoxia. Chest X-rays revealed left pneumothorax; thus, we drained the thorax. After confirming that the pneumothorax had improved, we attached the continuous monitoring and visualization system. Chest X-rays taken the next day showed exacerbation of the pneumothorax. Visual and quantitative findings showed a decreased respiratory volume in the left lung after 3 h. Case 2 A 94-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for dyspnea. Chest X-rays showed a large amount of pleural effusion on the right side. The continuous monitoring and visualization system visually and quantitatively revealed a decreased respiratory volume in the lower right lung field compared with that in the lower left lung field. Our newly developed continuous monitoring and visualization system enabled quantitatively and visually detecting regional differences in respiratory sounds in patients with pneumothorax and pleural effusion.
