1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hemothorax is often caused by blunt or penetrating trauma, a medical procedure, or direct tumoral erosion. Traumatic hemothorax is usually a consequence of intrathoracic organ damage, such as the chest wall or lung parenchyma. Herein we present a very rare case of traumatic hemothorax caused by inferior pulmonary ligament injury. The patient was a 64-year-old man, and he got injured due to loss of consciousness during bicycle riding. Since the patient was in a shock state and bleeding continued, video-assisted thoracic surgery was performed. We found that a small laceration of the inferior pulmonary ligament was a cause of hemothorax and haemostasis with soft coagulation was performed. The inferior pulmonary ligament injury is an extremely rare condition as a cause of traumatic hemothorax, and only two cases including the present case have been reported. We should consider inferior pulmonary ligament injury as one of the causes of traumatic hemothorax.
