Recurrent cutaneous decompression sickness in a hyperbaric chamber attendant with a large persistent foramen ovale.
Article in Diving and hyperbaric medicine, 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
A 41-year-old female nurse had cutaneous decompression sickness on two occasions after acting as an inside chamber attendant for patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen. She breathed air during the treatments at pressures equivalent to 14 and 18 metres of seawater, but each time she decompressed whilst breathing oxygen. Latency was 2.5 hours and one hour. She was found to have an 11 mm diameter persistent foramen ovale. It was closed and she returned to work without recurrence of decompression sickness. Review of the literature suggests that shunt mediated decompression sickness is an important occupational risk for individuals with a large right-to-left shunt when working in hyperbaric air, but the manifestations of decompression sickness differ in those who decompress whilst breathing oxygen compared with those who decompress whilst breathing air.
