Traumatic lung laceration secondary to avulsed lung adhesion - A case report.
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 3 papers.
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
Background: Pulmonary lacerations caused by an avulsion force on an adhesion between the lung and chest wall following blunt thoracic injury are very rare. They may result in pneumothorax and/or hemothorax and may not be immediately apparent clinically or radiologically. Case presentation: We present the case of a healthy 34-year-old male who sustained blunt thoracic injury. He was clinically stable, and his initial routine images were unremarkable. The patient was discharged home on the same day. He presented a week later with a massive hemothorax requiring surgical intervention which revealed bleeding from an avulsed adhesion between the lung and chest wall. Bleeding was successfully controlled by hemostatic agent, and the patient had an uneventful recovery. Conclusion: Hemothorax requiring intervention from an avulsed adhesion may occur following blunt thoracic trauma. Initial imaging and clinical finding may be misleading. Close follow up and adequate patient education should be ensured prior to discharge following seemingly trivial trauma.
