Spontaneous Tension Hemothorax in a Patient With Neurofibromatosis Type 1.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as von Recklinghausen disease, is the most common phacomatosis. It is characterized by neurofibromas but also manifests vascular complications including stenosis, arterial ectasia, and aneurysms. We report the case of an otherwise healthy 45-year-old male who developed a fatal tension hemothorax due to bleeding from the left costocervical artery. Tension hemothorax without trauma is rare except in cases with a rupture of an aortic aneurysm; we successfully treated the patient by promptly diagnosing tension hemothorax and performing chest drainage, as well as timely transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) to control bleeding. When encountering shock patients with NF1, clinicians should be mindful of the potential for non-traumatic hemorrhagic complications due to vascular malformation.
