Cerebral air embolism associated with cavitary lung lesion in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Pneumocephalus, is a general term describing the presence of air within the intracranial structures. It most commonly occurs due to dural injury, often the sequela of head trauma or surgery. More infrequently, nontraumatic pneumocephalus can be related to infection, Valsalva, fistulization between air-containing organs and intracranial structures, or vascular air embolism. While postsurgical pneumocephalus is often benign, serious consequences of pneumocephalus exist, including tension pneumocephalus and cerebral infarction. We present a case of air embolism and cerebral infarction in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, found to have large cavitary lesion in the left upper lobe of the lung, with associated pulmonary vascular malformation seen on bronchoscopy. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of air embolism associated with a pulmonary cavitary lesion and vascular malformation, in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
