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

Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a sinus tract between a mainstem, lobar or segmental bronchus and the pleural space. We present a 68-year-old male with a 13 mm spiculated left lower lobe nodule who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery left lower lobe wedge resection followed by persistent BPF requiring open window thoracostomy. We present a step-up approach to management of persistent BPF with discussion of conservative, operative and reconstructive techniques for closure.
