A case report, bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax as a late complication for SARS CoV-2 infection.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The beta-coronavirus discovered in Wuhan in 2019 (COVID-19) provokes a series of affections from mild symptoms to life-threatening complications. There is evidence that associates the disease to spontaneous pneumothorax, however, the mechanism is unknown. The patient was a 45-year-old male with previous pneumonia due to COVID-19 who was attended the emergency department, where chest radiography was taken, confirming the diagnosis of right pneumothorax. However, the patient developed a new episode of pleuritic pain three days later, and a new radiograph showed left pneumothorax requiring a new chest tube. The simple tomography shows intraparenchymal bullae in the apical region of both lungs. The patient was kept under observation, and when improving, both endopleural chest drains were removed, and the patient was discharged. Spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication. Identifying pulmonary bullae in patients with COVID-19 could be an early sign for these patients to develop spontaneous pneumothorax.
