Hydropneumothorax and Pulmonary Embolism in a Patient With Shortness of Breath.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This is a case of hydropneumothorax in an elderly man presenting to the emergency department with worsening respiratory symptoms one month after treatment for a chest infection and pleural effusion. Computerized tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) showed an encysted hydropneumothorax and chronic pulmonary emboli. He was anticoagulated, had a chest drain with a good outcome and was discharged for a multidisciplinary team follow-up. This report highlights hydropneumothorax occurring as a result of therapeutic or diagnostic pleural interventions. It also reiterates the importance of identifying the probable cause of a pleural effusion, with pulmonary embolism as a cause that should be ruled out.
