Hemothorax caused by zone I penetrating neck injury effectively treated with pleural dome laceration covering performed using video-assisted thoracic surgery: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundPenetrating neck injuries in the area between the clavicles and the cricoid cartilage sometimes cause intrathoracic problems such as pneumothorax or hemothorax. Injuries of subclavian vessels were reported as a cause of hemothorax caused by penetrating neck injuries. Coil embolization and hemostasis with electrocautery were reported as treatment. Herein we present a case of hemothorax caused by penetrating neck injury, which was treated with pleural dome laceration covering performed using video-assisted thoracic surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 68-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital after sustaining a self-inflicted stab wound to her left neck and chest with a kitchen knife. She was in hemorrhagic shock due to hemothorax caused by penetrating neck injury. We performed video-assisted thoracic surgery and stopped bleeding with pleural dome laceration covering. We chose the treatment instead of coil embolization or hemostasis with electrocautery because the bleeding vessel was unclear.
conclusionPleural dome laceration covering was effective for hemothorax that was caused by penetrating neck injury when the bleeding vessel was unclear.
