Heart Failure in a Patient With Preexisting Giant Hiatal Hernia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hiatal hernia is one of common conditions in the elderly. Most patients with hiatal hernia are asymptomatic. However, some reports have described cardiac complications such as heart failure or arrhythmias due to cardiac compression. We report a diagnostically challenging case of heart failure accompanied by preexisting giant hiatal hernia, atrio-ventricular block (AVB)-related bradycardia and aortic valve stenosis (AS). Initial transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) at the time of 2:1 AVB revealed moderate AS with no cardiac compression by a giant hiatal hernia. Repeated TTE after the correction of heart rate with pacemaker showed decreased peak velocity and mean pressure gradient. The true severity of AS was considered mild under the hemodynamically stable condition. Eventually, AVB-related bradycardia was identified to be responsible for heart failure rather than AS or giant hiatal hernia. The number of diagnostic occasions of heart failure is being increasing especially in the elderly. This case highlights the importance of careful evaluation to determine the major cause of heart failure accompanied by multiple comorbidities.
