Non-invasive management of severe subcutaneous emphysema in a pediatric asthma exacerbation: a case report and review.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSpontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) and subcutaneous emphysema (SE) are rare, severe, and potentially life-threatening complications associated with asthma exacerbation. Most of these conditions are benign and self-limiting. However, the overlapping symptoms between asthma exacerbation and pneumomediastinum (PM) may delay diagnosis. These conditions can usually be managed through conservative treatment, although unfamiliarity with this presentation may lead some physicians to consider surgical intervention. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a unique case involving a 9-year-old patient experiencing a severe bronchial asthma attack and right lobe atelectasis complicated by PM and severe SE that extended to his left eye. The condition was successfully treated conservatively, with aggressive management of asthma exacerbation and close monitoring in the intensive care unit.
conclusionThis case highlights the effectiveness of conservative management of PM and SE with appropriate asthma exacerbation treatment. Early diagnosis and management can lead to a favorable prognosis and a relatively brief hospital stay. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
