The efficacy of autologous blood patch pleurodesis for prolonged air leak after anatomical lung resection.

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
Background: Prolonged air leak (PAL) is a well-known issue that frequently results in extended hospitalization following pulmonary lobectomy. There have been many suggestions for preventing air leaks, but no one method has yet achieved definitive success. The purpose of this research was to determine the efficacy of autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP) to treat PAL. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 60 patients aged ≥ 18 years, involving both sexes, with PAL after pulmonary lobectomy. Patients were categorized into two groups: group A received ABPP for PAL, and group B did not receive ABPP. Results: Group A had a significantly lower invasive procedure rate than group B ( Conclusions: ABPP is a prompt, safe, and successful method to treat post-lobectomy PAL, which shortens the time patients spend in the hospital and allows for the early removal of chest tubes.
