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

backgroundLoculated pleural effusion (PE) is a complex condition that often necessitates thoracoscopy due to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study aimed to identify factors influencing the length of stay (LoS) after rigid medical thoracoscopy for loculated PE and assess clinical outcomes, including improvements in lung function.

methodThis was a retrospective cohort study conducted at St. Carolus Hospital, Jakarta, from October 2011 to December 2020. The inclusion criteria were patients with multiloculated pleural effusion requiring thoracoscopy and available preoperative and postoperative FEV

resultsA total of 58 patients with multiloculated pleural effusion who underwent rigid thoracoscopy were enrolled. Significant improvements were observed in both the predicted FEV

conclusionPreoperative predicted FEV CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBERS: Not applicable.
