1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare condition. It may present with complications such as tension pneumothorax. Case presentation: A 35-year-old nulliparous woman without a pre-existing diagnosis of endometriosis presented with recurrent episodes of chest tightness, breathlessness, and dizziness, occurring in relation to her menstrual cycle. Initial evaluation revealed a right-sided pneumothorax, requiring chest tube insertion. Although she experienced temporary improvement, symptoms recurred at the onset of her next menstrual period, with imaging confirming tension pneumothorax. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) identified diaphragmatic perforations and endometriotic lesions. Conclusion: Timely diagnosis and treatment should be adopted in order to limit complications associated with catamenial pneumothorax.
