Autologous Blood Patch Pleurodesis for Persistent Pneumothorax in Emphysematous Lung: Salvage Success After Chemical Failure.

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
Persistent air leaks (PALs) present a significant challenge in patients with underlying structural lung abnormalities, such as emphysema. Conventional interventions, including chemical pleurodesis, may be ineffective or poorly tolerated in this population. We present a case of a high-risk patient with refractory pneumothorax successfully managed with autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP). This approach demonstrated rapid resolution of air leak and complete lung re-expansion without surgical intervention. The case underscores ABPP's potential as a safe, bedside alternative in selected patients, particularly those with incomplete pleural apposition or high operative risk.
