Acute fibrinous constrictive pericarditis and large pericardial effusion as the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematsous disease in an adult male patient.
Article in Clinical 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.
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) can have various manifestations. Although cardiac involvement is very common in SLE patients, a severe acute pericarditis as the first manifestation of SLE in a male patient is relatively rare. A 36-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with acute pericarditis, large circumferential fibrinous pericarditis, and major criteria of a high-risk case of acute pericarditis. After a complete investigation, the underlying disease was revealed to be SLE. All of his symptoms were completely resolved after 6 weeks of treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids with no need for a pericardiocentesis. Patients with acute fibrinous pericarditis should be considered and precisely investigated for multiorgan autoimmune process such as SLE, to avoid unnecessary intervention, and minimize the risk of recurrence and chronicity of the condition.
