Spontaneous secondary pneumothorax due to cannabis-induced bullous lung disease: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Marijuana use has grown rapidly in the last decade with a prevalence greater than that of cocaine and opioids. With its increasing recreational and medical use, potential adverse outcomes from heavy use may be associated with bullous lung disease and spontaneous pneumothorax. This case report has been reported in line with the SCARE Criteria. Case presentation: The authors describe a case of an adult male with a past medical history of spontaneous pneumothorax and long-standing marijuana use presenting with dyspnoea who was found to have a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax requiring invasive treatment. Clinical discussion: The aetiology of lung injury due to heavy marijuana smoke may be from direct tissue injury from inhaled irritants and the method of which marijuana smoke is inhaled compared with tobacco smoke. Conclusion: Chronic marijuana use should be considered when evaluating structural lung disease and pneumothorax in the setting of minimal tobacco use.
