A case report of cardiac amyloidosis presenting with chronic pericardial effusion and conduction block.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAmyloidosis is caused by the deposition of abnormal proteins in the extracellular space of various organs. The clinical features of amyloidosis depend on the type of amyloid protein and the organ system involved. CASE SUMMARY: A 51-year-old woman developed complete heart block which warranted a permanent pacemaker insertion. She was referred for evaluation of chronic pericardial effusion. The patient had stable vital signs and muffled heart sounds on examination of the cardiovascular system. Her chest X-ray film showed a permanent pacemaker DISCUSSION: Cardiac amyloidosis can have diverse clinical presentations. Chronic pericardial effusion and conduction block can be a rare presentation of cardiac amyloidosis and needs to be considered while evaluating the same. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and Tc-PYP imaging can be used in establishing the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, if endomyocardial biopsy is not feasible.
