Obstructive shock due to a spontaneous haemothorax caused by primary lung cancer.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We describe the case of a 67-year-old man with shock and hypoxemia. Chest X-ray showed bilateral lung mass shadows and left pleural effusion with a mediastinal shift, suggesting malignancy. Physical examination and point-of-care ultrasound findings did not suggest obstructive or cardiac shock, but the patient had prolonged shock refractory to fluid and blood transfusion therapy. We inserted a drain into the left thoracic cavity, which enabled the patient to recover from shock. We diagnosed the patient with obstructive and hypovolemic shock due to spontaneous haemothorax caused by primary lung cancer. Tension haemothorax due to malignancy is rare, and when obstructive shock is combined with haemorrhagic shock, it can be very difficult to determine the cause of shock.
