An unusual site of a pericardial cyst in a child: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pericardial cysts are rare congenital anomalies, often clinically silent and incidentally found on imaging. However, patients with pericardial cysts may present with chest pain, tachypnea, and, rarely, symptoms secondary to cardiac tamponade. Echocardiography (transthoracic or transesophageal) and chest computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast are diagnostic modalities of choice in patients with pericardial cysts. Conservative management is justified in asymptomatic patients, while a surgical approach is recommended in symptomatic patients. Here, we describe the case of a 12-year-old boy who underwent imaging during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and was incidentally found to have a pericardial cyst.
