1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 effusion is defined as the accumulation of fluid between the visceral and parietal pericardium. The underlying etiology varies as any pathology that causes pericarditis or involves the pericardium can cause effusion. In practice, the majority of pericarditis cases are idiopathic, although these are assumed to be secondary to occult viral infection or inflammatory phenomena. Malignancy, particularly the metastatic spread of noncardiac primary tumors, has been implicated as a differential in the diagnosis of pericardial effusion. Though commonly seen in solid malignancies, effusion has been reported in hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute leukemia, and lymphoma. Nonetheless, pericardial effusions associated with hematologic conditions are extremely rare with only one case report published describing pericardial effusion secondary to immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We herein report the first documented case, to our knowledge, of pericardial effusion as an initial clinical manifestation of aplastic anemia in a middle-aged male presenting with pancytopenia.
