Pericardial Decompression Syndrome After Drainage of Chronic Pericardial Effusions.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS) is a potentially fatal disorder of left ventricular function that sometimes occurs after drainage of a pericardial effusion for cardiac tamponade. Patients at risk for PDS are difficult to identify. Here, we report 2 cases where PDS developed after drainage of effusions that had been present for years, suggesting that patients with chronic effusions are at higher risk for PDS. (
