Mediastinal emphysema in the context of perforated gastric ulcer.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
In the context of mediastinal emphysema/pneumomediastinum, the main aetiologies are associated with oesophageal perforation, lung pathology or post head and neck surgery related. The main way to differentiate the pathologies would be through Computed Tomographic Imaging of the Thorax and abdomen with oral and intravenous contrast in the context of triple phase imaging. The causes of pneumomediastinum should be differentiated between traumatic and non-traumatic. Oesophageal perforation (Boerhaave syndrome) is associated with Mackler's triad in upto 50% of patients (severe retrosternal chest pain, pneumomediastinum, mediastinitis). Whereas in cases of lung pathology this can be associated with pneumothorax and pleural effusion.
