Surgical management of delayed air leakage following radiofrequency ablation for non-small cell lung cancer: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in radiology, 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
We report the case of a 68-year-old male with a history of urothelial carcinoma and severe emphysema who developed a delayed pneumothorax following CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma. Conservative management with chest drainage failed to resolve the air leak. Surgical revision via uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) allowed identification of a necrotic subpleural lesion with active air leakage. Hemostatic and sealing agents (Hemopatch® and Tisseel®) were applied with long-term resolution of the complication. This case underscores the importance of surgical intervention in selected cases of persistent air leak post-RFA and the potential efficacy of biologic sealants when resection is not feasible.
