A huge Morgagni hernia with compression of the right ventricle.
Article in Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 21 year old male with no relevant medical history presented to our Institution for further assessments of a right paracardiac mass founded on a chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography revealed a wide median defect of the diaphragm at the level of xiphoid process of the sternum, with the herniation of omental fat tissue in the mediastinum. Cardiac magnetic resonance confirmed the presence of a huge hernia originating from the foramen of Morgagni (sterno-costal hiatus), displacing the heart leftwards and posteriorly and compressing the right ventricle (RV), giving to it a tubular shape.The signal characteristics were typical of fat tissue, with hyperintense signal in T1 and T2 weighted black blood images and homogeneus signal suppression on STIR T2 black blood images. Short axis real time cine images, performed during deep inspiration, showed an early diastolic ventricular septal bounce, with flattening of the interventricular septum during mid-late diastole: they represented signs of diastolic dysfunction of the right ventricle, resembling a sort of "pseudo-constrictive" pathophysiological model. The patient was thus referred to surgical repair of the diaphragmatic defect.
