Cardiac Tuberculoma Presenting as Sudden Cardiac Death in an Immunocompetent Young Man: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in cardiology, 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
Tuberculosis is one of several preventable and curable communicable diseases that is a major cause of morbidity and one of the top ten causes of death worldwide. Cardiac tuberculosis frequently affects the pericardium. Although rare, most cases of tuberculosis involving the myocardium and endocardium present as sudden cardiac death in asymptomatic cases. Information about the myocardial involvement of tuberculosis appears in the literature once in a blue moon. As a result, there is a knowledge gap about cardiac tuberculosis among health professionals. Here, a case of sudden cardiac death from tuberculoma of the right atrium with a secondary thrombus causing bicaval obstruction that is observed in an asymptomatic immunocompetent young man is presented. Furthermore, challenges related to the diagnosis and management of cardiac tuberculosis are discussed, and an overview of the relevant literature is provided to break new ground in early diagnosis and therapy.
