Tuberculous Pericarditis in an Immunocompromised Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
This case report details the presentation, diagnostic process, and management of tuberculous pericarditis (TBP) in a 43-year-old male with a history of chronic severe pericarditis, right-sided heart failure, and rheumatoid arthritis. The patient exhibited symptoms of chest pain and dyspnea and showed signs of ascites and mild lower limb edema. Our patient was found to have significant pericardial thickening and effusion, as well as necrotic lymph nodes. Diagnostic tests, including a positive QuantiFERON-TB test (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) and imaging studies, supported the diagnosis of TBP. Management involved a combination of anti-tuberculosis therapy and eventually, a radical pericardiectomy. This report underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment in improving outcomes for patients with TBP.
