Silent Dyspnea: Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum in a Heroin User.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 relatively rare presentation that often follows a benign clinical course. It is mainly triggered by underlying bronchial asthma, respiratory tract infections, strenuous activities, or illicit drug use. We present a case of an isolated primary pneumomediastinum where the patient was a 24-year-old man with underlying bronchial asthma who presented with acute onset of shortness of breath and pleuritic chest pain following snorting of an opioid-heroin. Although the clinical exam and chest radiograph were both unremarkable, the multi-detector computed tomography of the chest revealed an isolated pneumomediastinum. The patient was managed conservatively in accordance with existing evidence as SPM is known for its spontaneous recovery.
