A Practical Approach to Pleural Infection.
Article in Pulmonary therapy, 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
Pleural infection encompasses a spectrum of disease that can present significant challenges in clinical practice. Despite better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and microbiology, outcomes for patients remain poor. The use of antibiotics and chest tube drainage continue to be the mainstay of treatment, with surgery often reserved for those not responding to initial medical therapy. However, at present, the optimal management strategy for individual patients-including the role of early surgical and/or intrapleural therapy-is not clear. In this article, we provide an overview of the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of pleural infection, highlighting current concepts and key practice points to aid the reader in caring for this important and often complex group of patients.
