A Case of Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum Following Ecstasy and Marijuana Use.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a benign and self-limiting condition more commonly seen in young adults. Radiology imaging of the chest, including X-ray or CT scan, is the gold standard for diagnosis. Ecstasy, also known as 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a synthetic amphetamine derivative widely abused for an increased sense of well-being and euphoria. Marijuana is also abused for recreational purposes. SPM has been reported after both Ecstasy and marijuana use. SPM after these illicit drugs abuse usually has a benign and self-limiting course with supportive management. However, it is always important to rule out serious associated conditions like esophageal perforation. Here, we present a 22-year-old male who developed SPM after Ecstasy ingestion and marijuana inhalation.
