A Case of Traumatic Diaphragm Rupture: A Differential Diagnosis Not to Be Missed.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a rare condition with clinical stigmata that overlaps with a similarly fatal condition such as tension pneumothorax. Although the former is much rarer, early differentiation between a ruptured diaphragm and a tension pneumothorax is crucial to avoid incorrect interventions. In this case, we present a middle-aged male construction worker who fell from the roof of a two-story building and presented to our emergency department with a clinical presentation similar to that of tension pneumothorax. However, a chest X-ray later revealed a left diaphragmatic hernia, which completely altered the management. This case helps highlight the importance of widening one's list of differential diagnoses, especially in the setting of a hectic environment and a vague presentation.
