Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema Associated With Diabetic Ketoacidosis: 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. 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
Hamman's syndrome or Macklin phenomenon - spontaneous pneumomediastinum - is an uncommon condition that often gets missed due to the lack of awareness. It may rarely be associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) due to repeated vomiting or Kussmaul breathing associated with it. This condition is self-resolving, and improvement in symptoms is usually observed with appropriate management of DKA. Secondary pneumomediastinum is relatively more common, but spontaneous pneumomediastinum, which is rare, is often diagnosed incidentally. Here, we describe a case of a 24-year-old gentleman where this condition was found incidentally during the examination and was confirmed through imaging (X-ray and CT scans) and resolved with successful management of DKA.
