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

Constrictive pericarditis is a great mimic and has posed a diagnostic dilemma since its first description 300 years ago as "Concretio Cordis." It can mimic restrictive cardiomyopathy, endomyocardial fibrosis, and chronic liver and renal disease. This would perhaps be the first clinical report of constriction in patients undergoing cardiac transplantation. We report two distinct cases with cardiomyopathy requiring cardiac transplantation and the clinical implications of concomitant pericardial constriction. While the first case mimics a natural "cardiac support device," which addresses ventricular remodeling in heart failure by reducing the wall stress, the second case is a case in point against the use of "biological pericardial membrane-like the bovine pericardium," as a pericardial substitute.
