Spontaneous left pneumothorax revealing an atypical carcinoid tumor: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 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
The association between spontaneous pneumothorax and a bronchial tumor is rare, and even more so with an atypical carcinoid tumor. This rare and unexpected case highlights the importance of raising clinician awareness about investigating the underlying cause of pneumothorax through endoscopic exploration. A 52-year-old female was exposed to passive smoking by her husband for 20 years. She was treated for hypothyroidism for the past two years, pulmonary tuberculosis a year ago, and cardiac disorders for the past eight months. The patient presented to the emergency room with a spontaneous left pneumothorax secondary to an atypical bronchial carcinoid tumor. The diagnosis was established through thoracic CT and bronchoscopy. Treatment involved left pneumonectomy with follow-up.
