Recurrent Pericardial Effusion Secondary to Cardiac Angiosarcoma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Cardiac angiosarcoma is a malignant cardiac tumour. We present the case of a young patient in his mid-30s with recurrent pericardial effusion. He had flu-like symptoms a month earlier and had shortness of breath, lethargy, and tightness in his throat for the past ten days. Echocardiography demonstrated global pericardial effusion > 4 cm with tamponade features, and the patient was blue-lighted to our hospital. He underwent emergency pericardiocentesis, and > 1 litre of pericardial fluid was drained. Computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis revealed small-volume ascites and moderate right-sided pleural effusion, with associated lobar collapse. The patient presented to the hospital with global pericardial effusion requiring emergency pericardiocentesis three weeks later and underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrating global pericardial effusion and a 48 × 26 mm pericardial space mass adjacent to the right atrium. He underwent surgical resection of the tumour, followed by chemotherapy, and tolerated the treatment well. The patient is currently under follow-up.
