Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum in a Middle-Aged Female Patient With Schizophrenia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
A middle-aged female patient with schizophrenia and osteoporosis presented to the emergency department with complaints of sore throat, neck pain, and dysphagia, which was identified as spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) on chest CT. SPM has been reported in anorexia nervosa, but this is the first report of SPM in schizophrenia. In anorexia nervosa, an increase in intrathoracic pressure because of vomiting can cause positive pressure SPM, but this patient was considered to have negative pressure SPM because of decreased mediastinal pressure. In schizophrenia patients with unexplained chest pain, neck pain, and dysphagia, SPM should be considered a differential disease, and a chest CT scan is useful for diagnosis.
