1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A woman in her early 40s presented with right-side chest pain radiating to the ipsilateral shoulder coinciding with her menstrual periods. She complained of worsening dysmenorrhoea over the preceding 6 months. Chest radiograph was notable for pneumothorax. Conservative management through hormonal suppression was initially pursued but proved ineffective for preventing recurrence. The patient ultimately underwent video-assisted diagnostic thoracoscopic surgery through robotic approach; intraoperative findings confirmed the presence of endometrial deposits of the diaphragm, confirming the cause of the patient's catamenial pneumothorax. The patient recovered well and was started on a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist 3 weeks following her operation.
