Hamman Syndrome: A Case Report of Interlobar Pneumothorax, Pneumopericardium, and Pneumorrhachis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Hamman syndrome is a rare and benign condition characterized by the presence of air in the mediastinum without an external cause. It most commonly occurs in young adults and is often triggered by activities that increase intrathoracic pressure, such as coughing, vomiting, or asthma exacerbations. We report the case of an 18-year-old male patient with a history of asthma who presented with shortness of breath, chest pain, and subcutaneous emphysema. Imaging evaluation revealed pneumomediastinum, interlobar pneumothorax, pneumopericardium, pneumorrhachis, and subcutaneous emphysema. The patient was treated with supplemental oxygen and analgesia. The symptoms gradually improved, and follow-up imaging confirmed the resolution of pneumomediastinum within four days. Hamman syndrome is commonly misdiagnosed due to its non-specific clinical presentation. Imaging evaluation is crucial for diagnosis and for differentiating it from other serious conditions. This case report illustrates a rare combination of uncommon imaging findings in Hamman syndrome.
