A 35-Year-Old Female With a Lupus Flare Presenting as Cardiac Tamponade: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects multiple organ systems, significantly impacting the cardiovascular system. One potential complication of acute SLE flare is the development of pericardial effusion which can lead to potentially life-threatening consequences if not promptly identified. In this report, we describe the case of a 35-year-old female with a known history of SLE who developed rapid-onset, large-volume pericardial effusion with tamponade during a lupus flare. She received emergency treatment involving pericardiocentesis and was administered high doses of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive medication. As a result, the pericardial effusion gradually resolved, and the patient's symptoms improved. This case emphasizes the significance of immediately identifying and managing swiftly progressing pericardial effusion in SLE patients. This is crucial as it can lead to severe and potentially lethal complications.
