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

We report the case of an 18-year-old man with a six-month history of chronic marijuana use who developed spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) following multiple episodes of forceful vomiting. He presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and abdominal pain radiating to the back. A noncontrast chest CT revealed a small amount of mediastinal air without evidence of esophageal perforation, which was confirmed with a CT esophagram. He was managed conservatively with bowel rest, IV antibiotics, and supportive care. This case is one of only five to date recognizing the association between cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) and SPM and highlights a relatively benign condition that may not be considered in the differential diagnosis because of an uncommon underlying cause. The pathophysiology, management, and outcomes of CHS-induced SPM are discussed to place this case in context.
