Demographic and clinical characteristics of newborn pneumothorax patients and their effects on respiratory function tests during childhood.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposePneumothorax is defined as the presence of air between the parietal and visceral leaves of the pleura, resulting in lung collapse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the respiratory functions of these patients when they reach school age and to reveal whether they cause permanent respiratory pathology.
methodsThe files of 229 patients who were hospitalised in a neonatal intensive care clinic had received a diagnosis of pneumothorax and had undergone tube thoracostomy were included in a retrospective cohort review. The respiratory functions of participants in the control and patient groups were evaluated using spirometry in a prospective cross-sectional study design.
resultsThe study found the rates of pneumothorax to be higher in males, term infants and after caesarean delivery, mortality was 31%. Among patients who underwent spirometry, those with a history of pneumothorax had lower forced expiratory volume at timed intervals of 0.5 to 1.0 (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory flow 25-75% (MEF25-75). FEV1/FVC ratio was significantly lower (p < 0.05).
conclusionPatients treated for pneumothorax in the neonatal period should be evaluated for obstructive pulmonary diseases during childhood using respiratory function tests.
