Autologous blood-patch pleurodesis for persistent air leak in an AIDS patient with pneumothorax.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Autologous blood-patch pleurodesis (ABPP) is a common technique used to manage patients with persistent pleural air leaks caused by pneumothorax. Other treatment options for persistent air leak (PAL) include chemical pleurodesis or placement of endobronchial valves, though severity of illness, risk of complications such as infection, or patient comorbidities may impact treatment decisions. The use of ABPP in patients with HIV and AIDS has not been reported in the literature. We present a case of a 32-year-old man with a history of AIDS (noncompliant with medications) and schizophrenia who presented with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure complicated by pneumothorax and PAL. He safely underwent ABPP without complications and eventually had resolution of PAL.
