Spontaneous pneumothoraces during pregnancy in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

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
Patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) are prone to developing spontaneous pneumothoraces (SPs). We aimed to characterize the burden of SPs during pregnancy in LAM, using a web-based survey. Among the 50 respondents, 12 (24%) had never been pregnant and 38 (76%) were pregnant at least once, resulting in a total of 80 pregnancies. Respiratory symptoms during pregnancy led to the diagnosis of LAM in 34% of (13/38) patients, with SPs being the presenting manifestation in most of these patients (10/13, 77%). Eleven of the 38 pregnant patients (29%) experienced at least one SP during pregnancy. The majority of the SPs (∼60%) occurred during the second trimester. Our study provides valuable insights regarding the risk, burden, and timing of pregnancy-related SPs in patients with LAM that would be useful for the LAM community.
