Massive emphysema subcutis, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and pneumoperitoneum as uncommon complication of covid-19 pneumonia, a rare case.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
We should be aware of the uncommon presentation during the pandemic scenario of the Coronavrus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, and massive emphysema subcutis are uncommon complications of COVID-19 Pneumonia. The presence of pneumomediastinum and massive emphysema subcutis were rarely reported in the literature. We present a 69-year-old man with COVID-19 Pneumonia with these complications who were managed conservatively and experienced spontaneous resolution of the complications two weeks later. He was admitted to the intensive care unit and was given a ventilator. Pneumonia, massive emphysema subcutis, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax are identified from chest X-ray. An Unenhanced thoraco-abdominal computed tomography Scan revealed the presence of a small pneumoperitoneum. However, a computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis did not show any evidence of bowel perforation. It is necessary to detect these complications earlier, so the management can reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.
