axis discontinuity in bar chart [duplicate]

Question

pgfplot provides the possibility to insert a discontinuity on the axes (see MWE 1 & first srceenshot). However, it seems as this discontinuity is only applicable from the value 0 to ymin/xmin.

I plotted a histogram in which the occurrence of the values between -50 and -1.8 as well as between 3 and 50 are not really relevant to the reader (red boxes). However, I must provide these results. The most important part lies between the values -1.8 and 3 (green boxes). Therefore I thought in this case it would be useful just to plot the relevant part and to depict the irrelevant part with an interrupted interval (e.g. xleft1=-40, xright1=-5 and xleft1=5, xright1=40)

Question:

How can I insert a discontinuity as in MWE 1 between a value xleft and xrigth in my histogram?

MWE 1 (example from pgfplot manual)

\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
    axis x line=bottom,
    axis y line=center,
    tick align=outside,
    axis x discontinuity=crunch,
    xmin=-2, enlargelimits=false
    ]

    \addplot[blue,mark=none,
         domain=-4:4,samples=20] 
        {x*x+x+104};

\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
