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

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax usually occurs in tall and thin young people without an underlying disease or traumatic history. Most patients with pectus excavatum have similar body shapes as patients with pneumothorax. Haller indices of the patients with pneumothorax and pectus excavatum are higher than normal. Pectus excavatum may be a predisposing factor for the development of primary pneumothorax. The Nuss procedure involves inserting a metal bar through the substernal space to correct the pectus excavatum, resulting in a buffalo chest in which both pleural cavities communicate with each other. Therefore, if pneumothorax occurs after the Nuss procedure, it can occur bilaterally. Recently, we encountered a life-threatening case of bilateral tension pneumothoraxes after the Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum, which were not related to surgical complications.
