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

Catamenial pneumothorax is defined as spontaneous, recurrent pneumothorax occurring in women of reproductive age and associated with the menstrual cycle. This condition is rare and challenging to diagnose, despite increasing awareness due to case and series reports in recent years. Here, we present a clinical case of a 47-year-old woman with a history of recurrent right-sided pneumothorax requiring chest drainage multiple times from 2016 to 2022. Her pneumothorax episodes were cyclical, varying in severity. The diagnosis of catamenial pneumothorax was established, and she underwent thoracoscopic surgery to repair the lesions. One year postoperatively, there has been no recurrence of pneumothorax.
