Early Presentation of Boerhaave Syndrome in the Emergency Department: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We present the case of a 46-year-old patient who arrived at the emergency department with chest pain following an episode of vomiting. The diagnosis was Boerhaave syndrome and acute mediastinitis. Due to the prompt presentation and the location of the rupture in the lower esophagus, emergency surgical intervention was performed, including esophageal suturing, mediastinal drainage, and jejunostomy for feeding. Postoperatively, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for advanced monitoring and support. The patient's condition improved favorably in the intensive care unit, allowing for extubation. Progress continued positively, and the patient was discharged 12 days postoperatively with a functional jejunostomy. At regular follow-ups, the patient's recovery remained favorable, and the jejunostomy was removed 30 days after the surgery. This case highlights the importance of rapid diagnosis and early surgical intervention in Boerhaave syndrome, demonstrating the successful management of a severe condition through a multidisciplinary effort.
