A Case Report of Conservatively Managed Boerhaave Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Boerhaave syndrome is an esophagal perforation due to a rupture of the esophagus wall caused by intense vomiting with mediastinitis and subcutaneous emphysema. It is a relatively rare and potentially life-threatening ailment that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. This case presents an overview of the syndrome, including morbidity, mortality, and treatment strategy. In this case, a 56-year-old male presented to the hospital during emergency hours with shortness of breath, chest pain, and dullness in the neck and a history of binge alcohol abuse seven days ago, followed by a severe bout of vomiting. The patient was managed conservatively, requiring another hospitalization for surgery, and was later discharged from the hospital postoperatively without any complications.
