Symptomatic Pneumomediastinum Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report and a Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Isolated pneumomediastinum is a rare complication after laparoscopic procedures. Herein, we present a case of a 38-year-old woman who presented two days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with pleuritic chest pain and dyspnea and was found to have isolated pneumomediastinum. The patient was admitted for monitoring, oxygen therapy, and antibiotic prophylaxis and she was discharged on the fourth postoperative day when her symptoms resolved both subjectively and radiologically. Only two other cases of symptomatic isolated pneumomediastinum after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were reported in the literature and all of them were female patients, diagnosed radiologically, and treated conservatively. Therefore, isolated pneumomediastinum should be included in the differential diagnosis of dyspnea and chest pain after laparoscopic surgeries in order to have an early diagnosis, start early treatment, and prevent unnecessary investigations or advancement of the disease.
