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

A 63-year-old hypertensive woman presented initially to the surgical team with right upper quadrant pain, the patient was otherwise asymptomatic and clinically well. An abdominal CT scan excluded any surgical diagnoses but rather showed a pericardial effusion. When the cardiology team urgently reviewed her, they found her to be hypotensive and tachycardic with a raised jugular venous pressure. A diagnosis of cardiac tamponade was made and was transferred to the coronary care unit for an emergency pericardiocentesis. She developed tamponade on further occasions requiring pericardiocentesis. The underlying cause was investigated and following pericardial fluid analysis and subsequent imaging, metastatic lung adenocarcinoma was diagnosed.
