Pericarditis With Cardiac Tamponade Mimicking Yellow Nail Syndrome in a Patient With Rheumatoid Arthritis and a Paucity of Joint Symptoms.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Pericarditis is a cardiac disease that commonly manifests with rheumatoid arthritis, and its complications are related to rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. The diagnosis can be complicated in patients with multiple extra-joint complications of rheumatoid arthritis. We report a case of pericarditis in an 82-year-old woman with few joint symptoms who was admitted to the hospital due to worsening edema of the lower legs and dyspnea, which progressed to cardiac tamponade. The patient presented with gradual onset of edema of both lower limbs and bilateral pleural effusion and was initially diagnosed with yellow nail syndrome. Ultimately, the patient was diagnosed with rheumatoid pericarditis due to a rapid increase in pericardial effusion. She was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and colchicine; however, the symptoms were progressive and required pericardiocentesis. After pericardiocentesis, the patient responded well to NSAIDs and colchicine, and systemic edema was relieved. This case highlights the fact that pericarditis associated with rheumatoid arthritis is not necessarily related to the severity of joint symptoms. Moreover, it can be difficult to differentiate pericarditis from multiple other diseases, such as yellow nail syndrome, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who mainly have extra-articular symptoms.
