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
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is an uncommon disease related to thoracic endometriosis or diaphragmatic perforation. It is defined as an occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax around the time of menstruation in the population of women of reproductive age with no other lung diseases. Catamenial pneumothorax is often misdiagnosed and classified as a spontaneous pneumothorax, and no in-depth gynaecological diagnostic is performed. Here we present 3 cases of female patients admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery with the aim of surgical treatment of recurrent CP. In all 3 cases, a temporal association between pneumothorax and menstruation was identified. In 2 presented cases the patients were diagnosed with endometriosis and other gynaecological diseases. The previous incidents of CP were treated conservatively, with suction drainage of the pleural cavity or with thoracocentesis, but the treatment did not prevent relapses. In the Department of Thoracic Surgery, each patient was operated on with the use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, which is considered to be a good therapeutic option. In the case of 2 patients the surgery eliminated the relapses, 1 patient required radical lung decortication. The literature on the subject indicates the potential benefits of hormonal treatment of CP. It is suggested that using such pharmacological treatment may reduce the risk of relapse after surgery.
