Multimodality imaging of pericardial disease.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The emergence of multimodality imaging of pericardial diseases has improved diagnosis and management. In acute pericarditis, echocardiography is the first-line test, but cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may be beneficial in patients who fail to respond to therapy. An increased T2 short-tau inversion recovery time (STIR) suggests pericardial edema, and increased late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) suggests organizing pericarditis. Computed tomography (CT) can be helpful in procedural planning, either to guide percutaneous drainage of an effusion or to assess calcification and the location of vascular structures before pericardiectomy. On echocardiography, a respiratory septal shift in combination with either a preserved medial e' velocity or prominent expiratory diastolic hepatic vein flow reversal performs well in diagnosing constrictive pericarditis. These patients also have decreased regional longitudinal strain in the anterolateral and right ventricular free walls, presumably related to pericardial to myocardial tethering. Finally, prominent LGE may identify patients with constrictive pericarditis who improve with anti-inflammatory therapy.
