Fatal Cardiac Tamponade: The Lethal Progression of Acute-on-Chronic Pericardial Effusion.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening occurrence with an incidence rate of about two out of 1,000 people. It is caused by the rapid accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac. This can lead to the physical examination findings of tachycardia, hypotension, and elevated jugular venous pressure. Patients with chronic pericardial effusion are at increased risk for cardiac tamponade. We present a case of a patient with chronic, recurrent, malignant pericardial effusion that rapidly evolved to cardiac tamponade several hours from hospital presentation. We attempt to highlight the importance of close monitoring of patients who have recurrent chronic pericardial effusion in hopes of decreasing the number of patients who develop cardiac tamponade physiology.
