Spontaneous pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum as a rare complication of COVID-19 pneumonia: Report of 6 cases.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Spontaneous pneumothorax (SPT) and pneumomediastinum (SPM) have been reported as uncommon complications of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia. The exact incidence and risk factors are still unrecognized. We report 6 nonventilated, COVID-19 pneumonia cases with SPT and SPM and their outcomes. The major risk factors for development of SPT and SPM in our patients were male gender, advance age, and pre-existing lung disease. These complications may occur in the absence of mechanical ventilation and associated with increasing morbidity (chest tube insertion, sepsis, hospital admission) and mortality. SPT and SPM should be considered as a potential predictive factor for adverse outcome and probable cause of unexplained deterioration of clinical condition in COVID-19 pneumonia.
