Delayed diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type I with an index presentation of haemothorax.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is an autosomal dominant condition that typically presents with cutaneous features, including neurofibromas and Lisch nodules. At the time of writing, vasculopathies are not part of the updated diagnostic criteria. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with sudden-onset chest pain caused by a large haemothorax. It was discovered that this was likely secondary to a pseudoaneurysm in the seventh intercostal artery alongside mid-aortic syndrome with an aortic diameter of 3 mm. This patient had not previously been diagnosed and subsequently suffered a life-threatening complication. This case highlights delayed recognition and diagnosis of NF1 which ultimately resulted in life-threatening sequelae. We suggest noting higher index of suspicion of NF1 following identification of vasculopathy, and to consider earlier testing in atypical presentations.
