Hamman Syndrome Caused by a Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor in an Elderly Patient with Diabetes Which Mimicked of Boerhaave Syndrome.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. 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
A 70-year-old man with diabetes was treated with a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. He developed vomiting and epigastric pain and was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Computed tomography (CT) revealed mediastinal emphysema. As Boerhaave syndrome could not be ruled out, treatment was initiated in parallel with DKA treatment. After the DKA healed, the mediastinal emphysema disappeared. DKA combined with mediastinal emphysema is known as Hamman syndrome. There have been no reports of Hamman syndrome in elderly patients with diabetes caused by SGLT2 inhibitors. His symptoms mimicked the course of Boerhaave syndrome, and such cases have a high risk of misdiagnosis.
