Seventy-seven studies involving 12,847 patients were included in the analysis following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4, R, and Stata software. Evidence quality was assessed using GRADE methodology. Risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for binary outcomes.Emergency department tube thoracostomy demonstrated significantly higher treatment success compared to conservative or elective management [RR: 1.34 (95% CI: 1.18-1.52), p</p></abstract>
