Tension Pneumothorax Requiring Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery With Multimodal Pleurodesis: An Unexpected Ramification of a Ground Level Fall Without Significant Blunt or Penetrating Injury.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2025. 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
Tension pneumothorax is characterised by progressive air accumulation in the pleural space leading to increasing intrathoracic pressure and haemodynamic instability. Pneumothorax is generally observed following blunt or penetrating trauma, though spontaneous pneumothorax can also occur in patients with risk factors. This case highlights the potential for severe complications in an otherwise healthy patient with tension pneumothorax resulting from a ground-level fall onto an absorbent soft surface with mild indirect thoracic trauma. Initial respiratory status coupled with asthma history was worrisome for asthma exacerbation; however, imaging confirmed tension pneumothorax, later complicated by persistent air leak associated with apical blebs, corrected surgically.
