1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

A tension hydrothorax is a massive pleural effusion that leads to hemodynamic instability. Here we present a case of tension hydrothorax secondary to poorly differentiated carcinoma. A 74-year-old male smoker presented after a one-week history of dyspnea and unintentional weight loss. Physical exam demonstrated tachycardia, tachypnea, and decreased breath sounds diffusely over the right lung. Imaging revealed a massive pleural effusion causing mass effect on the mediastinum with tension physiology. Chest tube placement revealed an exudative effusion with negative cultures and cytology. Pleural biopsy revealed atypical epithelioid cells consistent with poorly differentiated carcinoma.
