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

Boerhaave's syndrome is a potentially fatal emergency, typically induced by forceful retching, which leads to increased intra-esophageal pressure. It commonly presents with vague symptoms such as chest pain or more classic symptoms like subcutaneous emphysema and vomiting. We present an unusual case of Boerhaave syndrome secondary to rapid and excessive intake of carbonated drinks in a 22-year-old male, who presented to our emergency department with atypical symptoms of fever and shortness of breath. Imaging studies showed left-sided hydropneumothorax with an esophageal pleural fistula, and multidisciplinary teams were involved in the patient's management.
