Occupational horizontal pushing inducing massive haemothorax: an unusual case report.
Article in Occupational medicine (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report an unusual case of a 55-year-old male machine operator who developed a massive unilateral haemothorax and ipsilateral rib fracture following occupational horizontal pushing of a cold-rolled steel coil. Notably, this occurred in the absence of direct chest trauma, coagulopathy or underlying anatomical abnormalities. The patient fully recovered after timely tube thoracostomy and hospital monitoring. This case highlights the potential for severe occupational injuries resulting from horizontal pushing activities, which are often overlooked and underreported in injury statistics. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of haemothorax induced by horizontal pushing, warranting further research to guide preventive safety measures and enhance the recognition and reporting of similar cases, thereby improving clinician awareness of indirect occupational trauma. It underscores the need for standardized force limits and ergonomic interventions to mitigate such risks and eventually eliminate manual handling of heavy machine components.
