How much is too much? Pushing the limits of fluid removal via paracentesis.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Peritoneal fluid accumulation can be caused by a multitude of factors. Patients with chronic cirrhosis can suffer from recurrent ascites requiring repeat paracentesis for fluid removal and symptom control. A paracentesis is a commonly performed procedure with a low risk profile that can be performed at the bedside by appropriately trained individuals. A large volume paracentesis is often therapeutic and focus should be placed on removing as much fluid as safely tolerated. We present a 57-year old Caucasian male with worsening abdominal distention and recurrent ascites who presented for progressive shortness of breath. Given the large volume of ascites noted, the patient underwent a passive bedside paracentesis with 29 L removed. The patient tolerated the 5-h procedure well without any post-procedure complications, challenging the extent of volume removal during bedside paracentesis.
