Error in Flow Diagram Randomization Boxes: In the Original Investigation entitled “Effect of Opioids vs NSAIDs and Larger vs Smaller Chest Tube Size on Pain Control and Pleurodesis Efficacy Among Patients With Malignant Pleural Effusion: The TIME1 Randomized Clinical Trial” published in the December 22/29, 2015, issue of JAMA,1 2 of the intervention groups in Figure 1 were mislabeled. In the boxes below the randomization ovals, the second box should read “103 Randomized to receive 24F chest tube and opiates” and the last box should read “28 Randomized to receive 24F chest tube and opiates.” This article was corrected online.
