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

Introduction: A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) after an anatomical lung resection commonly arises singly. We report a case of a metachronous BPF, which developed after omentoplasty of a preceding fistula and subsequently closed without any intervention. Case presentation: A 77-year-old patient underwent omentoplasty for a brochopleural fistula (BPF) following a right lower lobectomy. A sudden massive air leak developed from the novel BPF approximately 1 cm proximal to the preceding fistula 3 days later. The air leak resolved spontaneously without any intervention one week later. The corresponding fistula was found to be completely closed. Computed tomography showed the omental flap covered both fistulae. Conclusion: The present case suggested that a metachronous BPF could develop and a harvested omental flap might migrate even after being anchored.
