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

Background: Pneumothorax is a rare but serious complication of septic pulmonary embolism (SPE). SPE is a life-threatening disorder wherein infected thrombi bring infarction of the terminal and small caliber parts of the pulmonary vasculature and develop multiple nodular and cavitary lesions. Interventions other than conservative chest tube drainage for pneumothorax due to SPE have rarely been reported. Here, we present a case of bilateral pneumothorax due to SPE treated with intrapleural minocycline pleurodesis. Case Description: A 72-year-old male patient previously diagnosed as esophageal carcinoma developed metachronous bilateral pneumothorax while treated for brain metastases. Based on blood cultures and chest computed tomography images, he was diagnosed with pneumothorax secondary to SPE due to methicillin-susceptible Conclusions: Intrapleural minocycline pleurodesis may be one of the useful and efficacious options in terms of treating intractable pneumothorax associated with SPE. Intrapleural minocycline pleurodesis could be a consideration for intractable pneumothorax related to SPE.
