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

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare condition thought to be caused by excessive Valsalva manoeuvre during the second stage of labour. Women with pneumomediastinum typically presents with chest pain or tightness, dyspnoea, and a tearing sensation around the neck. It is commonly diagnosed with a chest radiograph but further imaging may be necessary to exclude more sinister conditions with similar clinical features. We describe two cases of pneumomediastinum and the different management approaches with different multi-disciplinary input. It is often a self-limiting condition. We propose a management algorithm for women suspected to have pneumomediastinum during the intrapartum and postpartum period.
