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

introductionGastropericardial fistulas are rare conditions, with less than 100 reported cases. The diagnosis is associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and often has a fatal outcome. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a unique case of cardiac arrest caused by pneumopericardium and cardiac tamponade as the acute presentation of a gastropericardial fistula, in a patient admitted with an infection of unknown origin. Rapid return of spontaneous circulation occurred, and a computed tomography scan revealed the diagnosis. A benign penetrating ulcer was found on gastroscopy, and surgical management with laparotomy and gastrorrhaphy was performed. The patient had no risk factors for gastric ulceration. However, he had significant comorbidity, which makes survival through a complicated postoperative course to full recovery remarkable. DISCUSSION: This case shows that pneumopericardium due to a penetrating benign gastric ulcer can cause cardiac tamponade, and illustrates the value of a multidisciplinary approach to management.
