Traumatic colopleural fistula presenting as tension fecohemopneumothorax and septic shock: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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 colopleural fistula represents a rare pathological communication between the colon and the pleural cavity, typically resulting from trauma, malignancy, or inflammatory bowel disease. One of the exceedingly rare complications of a fistula is fecopneumothorax, characterized by the presence of gas and fecal matter in the pleural space, which can lead to fatal sepsis if not diagnosed promptly. We report an instance of a traumatic colopleural fistula in a 49-year-old male who suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. Despite emergent surgical intervention and intensive critical care management, the patient developed a fecohemopneumothorax and ultimately died from septic shock. This case emphasizes the necessity for early radiologic evaluation for enterothoracic fistulas in trauma patients exhibiting persistent sepsis and abnormal thoracic drainage.
