1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 is a rare complication of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It can occur spontaneously or as a complication of mechanical ventilation. Patients typically present with chest pain or shortness of breath. There are only a few case reports of pneumomediastinum complicating a course of COVID-19 pneumonia. Here, we present a case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented with shortness of breath for 3 days. Subsequent evaluation using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed severe COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by pneumomediastinum. He was managed conservatively for pneumomediastinum and was discharged with improvement.
