Pericardial Effusion as the Initial Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a 37-Year-Old Female.
Article in Cureus, 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) is a complex autoimmune disease that can affect various organs and systems in the body, leading to a wide range of clinical manifestations. Pericardial effusion, which is an accumulation of excessive fluid in the pericardial sac surrounding the heart, can be one of the early presentations of SLE in some individuals. When it occurs in young females, it can be particularly concerning, as SLE predominantly affects women of childbearing age. In this case report, we describe pericardial effusion as the initial presentation of SLE in a 37-year-old mother of four children. Importantly, early diagnosis and consistent follow-up are critical for improving the prognosis and quality of life for individuals with SLE.
