Spontaneous pneumomediastinum: A collaborative sequelae between COVID-19 and self-inflicted lung injury - A case report and literature review.
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 4 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 is an infrequent complication of COVID-19. The mechanism is still unknown and thought to be related to patient self-inflicted lung injury. Our patient is a 49-year-old male who presented with shortness of breath and cough. A COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction was positive. He required a high-flow nasal cannula, but he did not demand mechanical ventilation. Computed tomography angiography scan of the chest revealed pneumomediastinum. He was managed conservatively, and a complete recovery was achieved. This case highlights the emerging association of COVID-19, patient self-inflicted lung injury, and pneumomediastinum. Furthermore, spontaneous pneumomediastinum should be suspected even in patients who were not mechanically ventilated.
