A Case of Obstructive Shock and Respiratory Failure Caused by Chest Wall Hematoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
A woman in her 70s undergoing dialysis developed respiratory failure and acute circulatory failure accompanied by bleeding after cardiac surgery. A large chest wall hematoma was found in the right anterior chest, and the CT scan showed that the hematoma was compressing the right thoracic cage. After emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and remove the hematoma, the patient's respiratory and hemodynamic status improved immediately. In this case, the elderly dialysis patient had undergone a sternotomy, which made the thoracic cage more susceptible to external compression and reduced its ability to expand. The rapidly developing hematoma compressing the thoracic cage caused respiratory failure due to ventilation disorders and obstructive shock. This is the first case report in which compression of the thoracic rib cage by a large chest wall hematoma caused respiratory failure and obstructive shock.
