Treatment of a pneumatocele in a COVID-19 patient with endobronchial valves.

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
A man in his 40s was admitted to his local hospital 6 days after the first vague symptoms of COVID-19. His general condition deteriorated, and he was treated in the intensive care unit but did not require mechanical ventilation. During his recovery, he experienced a cough spell, after which his dyspnoea recurred and rapidly increased. CT pulmonary angiogram showed a 10×18 cm cavitary lesion with an air-fluid level and surrounding atelectasis of the right lower lobe. A one-way valve mechanism had developed, leading to the formation of a pneumatocele. The patient was treated by occlusion of all bronchial segments of the right lower lobe with endobronchial valves, and the pneumatocele was evacuated with a pigtail catheter. The valves were removed 4 weeks after insertion, and the right lower lobe re-expanded. Six months after treatment, the patient had recovered completely and almost regained his former lung function.
