One-way endobronchial valves in the management of complex persistent air leaks in a soft tissue sarcoma patient.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 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
Complex persistent air leak (PAL) is a clinical condition which is difficult to treat. Herein, we report the clinical case of an 18-year-old woman with lung and bone metastases due an ultrarare sarcoma: "round cell sarcoma non-Ewing". She developed persistent air leaks due to an alveolopleural fistula which developed following two cycles of chemotherapy with doxorubicin. Chest drainage with suction failed to resolve the air leaks, while surgical treatment was unfeasible due to the poor clinical condition of the patient. Thus, she was reviewed for endoscopic treatment with one-way endobronchial valves. A small valve was sequentially inserted within each segment of the right upper bronchus to occlude the entire upper lobe. Two days after the procedure, resolution of the air leaks were obtained. Chest drainage was removed 5 days later and the patient was discharged. Chemotherapy was resumed. The patient died 7 months later because of disease progression.
