Chronic pericardial effusion in the setting of pericardial capillary haemangioma: a case report and review of the literature.

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
introductionCardiac haemangiomas are rare vascular tumours of the heart accounting for less than 5% of benign primary cardiac neoplasms. They are sometimes diagnosed incidentally, since patients can be asymptomatic. The clinical presentation in symptomatic patients, however, is variable, depending on size and exact localization of the tumour. Although cardiac haemangiomas have been reported everywhere in the heart, those localized in the pericardium are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old female patient with a history of pericardial effusion and pneumonia was admitted to our hospital with progressive dyspnoea on exertion. Echocardiography demonstrated recurrence of pericardial effusion with 'swinging heart'. Further investigation by computed tomography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and coronary angiography revealed a hypervascular pericardial mass with typical 'tumour blush' after contrast injection. The tumour could be resected DISCUSSION: We here report a very rare case of a pericardial haemangioma in the adult which was diagnosed by multi-modality workup of recurrent pericardial effusion. This case illustrates that in the setting of chronic pericardial effusion non-inflammatory and non-malignant causes should be taken into account.
