A case of inferior phrenic artery injury after chest drainage treated laparoscopically.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chest drainage is a commonly performed surgical procedure. However, caution is required when performing this procedure because of its serious complications. One complication is vascular injury. Endovascular treatment has been prioritized in patients requiring hemostasis. We report the case of an 87-year-old woman, who presented to our hospital with dyspnea caused by massive pleural effusion. We decided to perform chest tube placement for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. The inferior phrenic artery was injured during chest drainage, resulting in hemorrhagic shock. Catheter embolization was considered, but it was deemed difficult due to the patient's abnormal blood vessel. Instead, hemostasis was induced via laparoscopy. This is the first report on the safety of laparoscopic hemostasis for inferior phrenic artery bleeding. By devising, we were able to perform hemostatsis safely under laparoscopy.
