Post-cardiac injury syndrome: An evidence-based approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Review in American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) is an umbrella term used for the post-pericardiotomy syndrome, post-myocardial infarction (MI) related pericarditis (Dressler syndrome), and post-traumatic pericarditis (percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) placement). All these conditions give rise to PCIS due to an inciting cardiac injury to pericardial or pleural mesothelial cells, leading to subsequent inflammation syndromes ranging from uncomplicated pericarditis to massive pleural effusion. We did a literature search on MEDLINE/PubMed for relevant studies using the terms "post-acute cardiac injury syndrome", "post-cardiac injury syndrome", "post-cardiotomy syndrome", "post-pericardiotomy syndrome", "post-MI pericarditis" and to summarize the body of evidence, all relevant full texts were selected and incorporated in a narrative fashion. Pathophysiology of PCIS is suggested as autoimmune-mediated in predisposed patients who develop anti-actin and anti-myosin antibodies following a cascade of cardiac injury in various forms. Colchicine and NSAIDs including ibuprofen are demonstrated as efficacious in preventing recurrent attacks of PCIS while corticosteroids show no benefit on prognosis and recurrence of the disease.
