Hamman syndrome in an 18-year-old male patient.
Article in Anales del sistema sanitario de Navarra, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In 1939, Hamman´s syndrome, also know as spontaneous pneumomediastinum, was characterized by the presence of pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, and pneumorrhachis. It is believed to arise from barotrauma during vaginal labor, causing alveolar membrane rupture and subsequent air leakage. Clinical manifestations are often nonspecific. Management strategies vary based on symptom severity and complications, high-concentrations oxygen therapy promoting air absorption. We present the case of an 18-year-old male patient with a history of bronchial asthma and tobacco use, underscoring the need for heightened awareness of Hamman´s syndrome in similar cases. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to prevent or quickly address potential life-threatening complications. Diagnosing this syndrome in male patients can be particularly challenging, as it was initially associated with complications from vaginal labor, potentially leading to poorer outcomes.
