Excision of Giant Chronic Expanding Hematoma of the Thorax Caused by Rib Fractures after Proton Radiotherapy for Lung Cancer.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic expanding hematoma (CEH) is defined as a hematoma that gradually expands over months to years. An 82-year-old female underwent proton radiotherapy for left upper lobe lung cancer 10 years previously. Two years after the therapy, a hematoma developed from the left 3rd to 5th dorsal rib fractures and gradually expanded, causing contraction of the left shoulder. Transcatheter arterial embolization was performed; however, the hematoma continued to expand with thrombocytopenia, and the platelet was decreased to 4.2 × 10
