Great Toe Infection Leading to Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus Pericarditis and Tamponade.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Bacterial pericarditis is an uncommon presentation that can occur secondarily to the contiguous spread of infection from an intrathoracic focus, hematogenous seeding from a distant site, or via trauma and intrathoracic surgery. Its presence is linked to a high mortality rate with death generally caused by cardiac tamponade, fulminant sepsis, and acute decompensated heart failure. We describe a rare case of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) pericarditis in a patient after great toe amputation; the patient developed cardiac tamponade and required urgent percutaneous pericardiocentesis with the placement of a temporary drain. The patient was then successfully treated with IV antibiotics and did not require further invasive procedures such as surgical pericardiotomy.
