1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Children with postpericardiotomy syndrome may develop hemodynamically significant pericardial effusions warranting drainage by surgical pericardial window or pericardiocentesis. The optimal approach is unknown. We performed a retrospective observational study at two pediatric cardiac centers. We included 42 children aged <18 years who developed postpericardiotomy syndrome following cardiac surgery between 2014 and 2021. Thirty-two patients underwent pericardial window and 10 underwent pericardiocentesis. Patients in the pericardial window group presented with postpericardiotomy syndrome sooner than those who underwent pericardiocentesis (median 7.5 days vs. 14.5 days,
