Boerhaave's Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Boerhaave's syndrome is a rare spontaneous perforation of the esophagus with high mortality. The diagnosis is difficult because it has no specific symptom. It requires urgent intervention. We report the case of a 63-year-old male admitted to the emergency department with respiratory distress. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed large, bilateral, and tension hydropneumothorax, stomach distention, and aerobilia. Thoracic drainage was performed immediately. Control CT revealed esophagus perforation in the middle third of the esophagus with extravasation of the contrast product from the esophagus to the pleura. Urgent surgery was performed, and the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with septic shock. Early diagnosis and management with a damage control approach including thoracic drainage and surgery are essential to improve prognosis and reduce mortality.
