Cardiac Tamponade in an 18-year-old Male with Undiagnosed Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem, autoimmune condition of extremely variable presentation and prognosis. While pericardial effusion is a common disease sequela, subsequent tamponade is a rare, potentially fatal complication. We present the case of an 18-year-old, previously healthy male who presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of abdominal pain and hematochezia. Workup revealed massive pericardial effusion with tamponade pathophysiology requiring emergent pericardiocentesis, with further workup confirming a diagnosis of SLE. While SLE often presents in an indolent manner, cardiac tamponade may be the initial presentation of this disease.
