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
Management of malignant pleural effusion is a medical challenge, and several methods have been proposed to deal with it including thoracentesis, indwelling pleural catheter placement, and chemical or mechanical pleurodesis. Each method, however, has its advantages and disadvantages. Talc pleurodesis is generally recognized as the most effective and safest method for the induction of chemical pleurodesis. However, in rare cases, it can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this article, we report the case of a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma to the pleura who presents with shortness of breath and malignant pleural effusion, develops ARDS after pleurodesis with talc, and expires despite the partial improvement of lung involvement. The symptoms and causes of this rare side effect as well as the methods that can be used to deal with it are reviewed in this article.
