Constrictive pericarditis following inactivated virus COVID-19 vaccine: a case report with review of the literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cardiac adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccine are very rare, myocarditis and pericarditis are the most common amid them, and constrictive pericarditis (CP) is reported to be restricted to a few cases following mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. We report a case of a 72-year-old male patient who developed symptoms of right-sided heart failure, which started after 8 days of receiving the third dose of inactivated virus COVID-19 vaccine and his diagnostic tests comprising transthoracic echocardiography, chest CT scan, cardiac magnetic resonance were in favor of CP. Ultimately, invasive cardiac catheterization confirmed the diagnosis of CP. Due to the lack of satisfactory response to corticosteroid therapy, pericardiectomy was performed, which gave rise to symptom relief progressively and substantially. Considering the temporal course of the patient's symptoms and exclusion of other possible etiologies based on the patient's medical history and diagnostic evaluation, immunization with the COVID-19 vaccine was recognized as a culprit for developing CP. Despite being a scarce phenomenon, the COVID-19 vaccine could have a tendency to provoke pericardial inflammation in so far as causing CP. Hence, physicians should have a high index of suspicion in these circumstances and accelerate the diagnostic investigation.
