Pericardiectomy for Constrictive Tuberculous Pericarditis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis on the Etiology, Patients' Characteristics, and the Outcomes.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common etiology of constrictive pericarditis in the developing world. In this study, we collected currently available data to evaluate the outcomes following pericardiectomy in patients with constrictive tuberculous pericarditis. We retrieved electrical databases, including PubMed and PubMed Central, from 1985 AD and onwards. We included articles that had more than 80% TB as the etiology and articles with mixed etiologies. Pooled analysis was done in Review Manager (RevMan) version 5.2 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen). and Stata Statistical Software,
