Successful Assessment and Management of Chemothorax: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Chemothorax is a rare complication associated with central venous catheters, caused by the inadvertent infusion of chemotherapy into the pleural space due to catheter malposition. Malignant pleural effusion is a common suspect in oncologic patients; however, alternative causes, such as chemothorax, should also be considered. Few cases have been reported, emphasizing the need for careful catheter placement and early recognition of complications to prevent adverse outcomes. The risk of this complication underlines the need for meticulous catheter placement, routine radiologic verification, and prompt management to prevent serious outcomes in affected patients.
