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

Most cases of intractable pneumothorax are complicated by underlying lung diseases, which lead to poor intrathoracic conditions. Therefore, the treatment becomes even more challenging, and standard surgical techniques cannot always be applied to treat pneumothorax. We report a novel surgical technique using polyglycolic acid mesh and fibrin glue for intractable pneumothorax, named the mille feuille method. This method involves multiple layers of polyglycolic acid mesh and fibrin glue to control air leaks. A step-by-step protocol to perform it is described.
