Subcutaneous Emphysema and Pneumomediastinum Following a Dental Procedure without Tooth Extraction: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2026. 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
Pneumomediastinum refers to the accumulation of air in the mediastinum, which may occur due to trauma, esophageal perforation, or spontaneously. Although rare, dental procedures, especially those involving air turbine drills, can cause mediastinal emphysema. Most reported cases are related to tooth extraction; however, nonextraction procedures may also be associated with this complication. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who developed facial and neck swelling following a dental procedure using an air turbine drill, and provide a review of the relevant literature.
