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

Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) is an abnormal occurrence in which air enters the pleural space, increasing pressure that pushes on the lung, causing it to collapse in part or full. Diagnosis is made by physical exam and can be confirmed by chest X-ray (CXR), chest computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, and other forms of imaging showing a collapsed lung. We present the case of a 35-year-old male cannabis user presenting with sharp sudden pains in the right chest, who presented almost 12 hours after symptom onset and was diagnosed with a 90% pneumothorax of the right lung. Symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and risk factors are discussed.
