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
Buffalo chest syndrome is a rare condition describing simultaneous bilateral pneumothoraces due to pleuropleural communication, with fewer than 50 reported cases. We describe a 70-year-old with prior esophagectomy/thoracotomy, who developed symptomatic bilateral pneumothoraces immediately after computed tomography-guided biopsy of a single lung lesion. This prompted insertion of bilateral 14-French pleural drains, achieving immediate clinical stability and full radiological resolution within 24 hours, compared with 2 to 5 days reported with single-drain management in existing literature. This single case highlights the potential role of early bilateral pleural drainage in buffalo chest syndrome, suggesting the potential of more rapid clinical and radiological resolution compared with previously reported single-drain approaches in symptomatic patients.
