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

purpose of reviewWe review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of pericarditis most commonly complicating autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. RECENT

findingsTypically, pericarditis occurs in the context of a systemic flare of the underlying disease but infrequently, it is the presenting manifestation requiring a high index of suspicion to unravel the indolent cause. Pericardial involvement in rheumatic diseases encompasses a clinical spectrum to include acute, recurrent and incessant pericarditis, constrictive pericarditis, asymptomatic pericardial effusion, and pericardial tamponade. Direct evidence on the pathophysiology of pericarditis in the context of rheumatic diseases is scant. It is theorized that immune perturbations within pericardial tissue result from the underlying central immunopathology of the respective autoimmune or autoinflammatory disease. Pericarditis management depends on acuity, the underlying cause and epidemiological features such as patient's immune status and geographic prevalence of infections such as tuberculosis. Immunosuppressive medications including biologics such as interleukin 1 blockers emerge as possible steroid sparing agents for pericarditis treatment.
