Tuberculosis Presenting As Spontaneous Pneumothorax: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is one of the rare and crucial complications of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and can become a fatal condition if it progresses to tension pneumothorax. This case report describes a 32-year-old male who presented with sudden onset chest pain and shortness of breath for the past three hours. On examination, he exhibited tachypnea and hypoxia at rest, and chest imaging revealed a right-sided pneumothorax. Immediate intercostal chest tube insertion was performed and subsequent computed tomography (CT) of the chest was conducted after lung expansion to determine the underlying cause, most likely TB. The patient was subsequently managed conservatively with intercostal chest drain and anti-TB therapy.
