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

Spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare complication of lung cancer. In this report, we present a case of a patient with recurrent pneumothorax undergoing routine bullectomy and pleurodesis and lung adenocarcinoma is diagnosed incidentally. The prognosis for patients with untreated lung cancer has always been unfavourable with a median survival time of only 10 to 14 months, even for early-stage disease. Once the diagnosis is established, an effective treatment should be instituted without delay. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare manifestation of lung cancer and the relative risk for developing lung cancer should be considered with the patients with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax.
