Treatment of Bronchopleural Fistulas in Coronavirus Disease 2019 With Coils, Glue, and an Amplatzer Vascular Plug.

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
This case report describes a novel endoscopic approach to manage a bronchopleural fistula (BPF) of a patient with coronavirus disease 2019. A 66-year-old man with multiple comorbidities presented with coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia that required prolonged ventilatory support, and developed BPFs. Bronchopleural valves caused large pleural airspace and empyema. Lung filling expanded after decortication, but the BPF reoccurred. Medical management and blood patch failed. Surgical options were limited due to the complexity of the BPF and the patient's high surgical risk. The patient's BPF was ultimately treated bronchoscopically with bare-platinum coils, TRUFILL
