Management of hepatic hydropericardium with open drainage, maximal medical therapy and terlipressin.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present the case of a woman in her 60s with Child-Pugh C cirrhosis who developed pericardial tamponade during an admission for a haemothorax secondary to a mechanical fall. The patient developed haemodynamic compromise with a rapid decline in renal function. During an open subxiphoid drain tube insertion, a pre-existing peritoneopericardial communication was noted, with ascites in the peritoneal cavity on view. The serum ascites albumin gradient was 14 g/L. Maximal medical therapy was commenced including diuresis and albumin, with adjunctive terlipressin infusion which restored her baseline renal function and resolved the effusion. We believe this is the first case report of using open drainage, maximal medical therapy and terlipressin to successfully treat hepatic hydropericardium and its subsequent renal compromise.
