Factors influencing recurrence in patients operated for primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

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
Background: This study aims to evaluate preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative parameters in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) to minimize recurrence and improve predictability. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 207 patients who underwent surgery for PSP between 2016 and 2020. Recurrence data were obtained from the national electronic health record system and the institutional hospital information system. Pneumothorax size was calculated preoperatively on posteroanterior chest radiographs using the Collins method. Results: The mean age of the patients was 24.54±6.98 years and 87% of the patients were male. The overall recurrence rate was 9.7%. A higher Collins percentage (p<0.001), age ≤20 years (p=0.015), and continued smoking postoperatively (p=0.036) were found to be significantly associated with increased recurrence. Conclusion: The findings suggest that a high Collins percentage on posteroanterior chest radiography, young age at the time of surgery, and continued smoking postoperatively are significant risk factors for recurrence.
