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

Laryngotracheal trauma is a relatively rare traumatic injury seen particularly in young male adults. Trauma due to strangulation is one of its most frequent circumstances. However rare, pneumomediastinum is a particular complication of severe blunt neck injuries leading to alveolar ruptures. This phenomenon, described as the Macklin effect, requires early diagnosis, and its management varies from conservative to surgical treatment depending on the severity of symptoms. Our aim is to describe the case of a 21-year-old male who presented with blunt neck trauma. Clinical and imaging findings revealed subcutaneous neck emphysema and pneumomediastinum. Treatment was conservative leading to complete resolution of the injuries and the patient was discharged after 2 weeks.
