Exercise-Related Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum Following Ballet in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.

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
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of free air within the mediastinum without trauma or invasive procedures. Although it is usually benign and self-limiting, it can cause acute chest pain in children. We present a 12-year-old female patient with exercise-related spontaneous pneumomediastinum whose symptoms began 3 hours after taking a ballet class focused primarily on stretching and posture. Physical examination was normal, vital signs were stable, and there was no subcutaneous crepitus. The patient was treated with analgesics and rest on an outpatient basis; complete radiographic resolution was achieved within 1 week, and symptoms completely regressed. This case report highlights that activities such as ballet can be a rare trigger for SPM, the diagnostic value of lateral radiography, and the safety of conservative management in clinically stable pediatric patients.
