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

Pneumomediastinum (PM) and subcutaneous emphysema (SCE) following foreign body aspiration are very rare. Pneumomediastinum (PM) occurs due to alveolar rupture, whereas subcutaneous emphysema occurs if air leak persists. It is benign in nature, but in some cases, it might be fatal. Therefore, proper assessment and management are required to limit the life-threatening complications and FB should always be suspected whenever spontaneous PM and SCE is seen. PM and SCE are very rare presentations of foreign body aspiration in children of age less than 3 years and in such circumstances, the possibility of foreign body should be considered. There is also a rare possibility of spontaneous expectoration of a foreign body dislodged in the trachea.
