Papilledema Secondary to Barotrauma in a Young Adult With Severe Status Asthmaticus With Ventilatory Failure, Pneumothorax, and a Complex Clinical Course.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Intubation and mechanical ventilation are common therapeutic interventions in intensive care unit settings. Barotrauma is a known complication of using positive pressures in a tissue defined by extra alveolar air in locations where it is not generally found in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Several clinical manifestations of barotrauma include pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum or pneumopericardium, air embolization, and hyperinflated left lower lobe. However, papilledema is an unreported and uncommon complication we observed in one of our patients, making it a unique presentation. We present the case of a young male patient intubated for asthma exacerbation requiring mechanical ventilation with subsequent development of papilledema. Our case report highlights the importance of knowing this rare complication of barotrauma as early commencement of lung-protective strategies will help prevent it.
