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

The incidence of empyema is increasing worldwide, which, coupled with the aging global population, makes the non-surgical management of pleural space infections increasingly important. Despite this, there remains no consensus for management of chronic empyema in those patients who are not surgical candidates and do not get adequate source control with chest tube and intra-pleural lytic therapy, particularly for patients with non-expandable lungs. We reviewed the literature regarding non-surgical management of chronic empyema and present two cases that support the use of pleuroscopy in conjunction with tunneled pleural catheters for management of chronic empyema in non-surgical candidates.
