Pneumothorax after Shoulder Arthroscopy: A Case Report.
Article in Malaysian orthopaedic journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Shoulder arthroscopy is an increasingly common procedure. Pneumothorax post-shoulder arthroscopy is a rare complication. Our aim is to highlight a case report of pneumothorax post-shoulder arthroscopy and to conduct a literature review to evaluate the possible risk factors. We report the case of a 75-year-old male non-smoker, who underwent right shoulder arthroscopy without regional anaesthesia in the left lateral position and subsequently suffered a pneumothorax post-operatively. A PubMed Medline and Cochrane database search was carried out, and 32 articles were identified and thoroughly reviewed. Overall, among the articles that propose a mechanism, 75% (9/12) consider the pathogenesis to be multifactorial. The exact mechanism is currently unknown. Awareness of this complication and timely recognition are important to prevent life-threatening sequelae. Surgeons should maintain a low threshold for obtaining diagnostic plain radiographs in the event of clinical suspicion.
