1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionTension pneumomediastinum and coronary artery thrombosis (CAT) secondary to blunt polytrauma are, rare yet have the potential for serious complication. CASE REPORT: A 40-year-old man presented to the emergency department following a motorcycle accident. He was found to have multiple orthopedic injuries, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum. An electrocardiogram showed myocardial infarction. He developed obstructive shock physiology that resolved with mediastinal percutaneous needle drainage. Subsequent coronary angiography revealed acute thrombosis of the left circumflex artery.

conclusionThis is a rare case of traumatic tension pneumomediastinum associated with coronary artery thrombosis requiring coronary stenting. Emergency physicians should be mindful of CAT in the setting of blunt chest injury.
