Hydropneumothorax With Bronchopleural Fistula Following the Activation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Tuberculosis is not a disease of the current era; failure to eradicate it continues to cause unusual complications, which results in detrimental sequelae to the patients. It usually presents with respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, and fever, in addition to extrapulmonary symptoms. While there have been a few published case reports on patients presenting with hydropneumothorax due to tuberculosis, its occurrence is relatively rare. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case of hydropneumothorax due to tuberculosis within the United Arab Emirates, as confirmed by a search on PubMed. Here, we present a case of a young farmer from Bangladesh who presented with shortness of breath and fever and was found to have decreased air entry along with hyperresonance sounds on examination. Fortunately, the patient was in a stable state, required minimum oxygen therapy, and was not escalated for further noninvasive or invasive mechanical ventilation. The patient was admitted to a tertiary hospital to receive initial medical therapy interim to transfer the patient to a facility where thoracic surgeons are found.
