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

Influenza A viral infection classically presents as pulmonary manifestations which often require symptomatic management. It can rarely be complicated by pericarditis with concurrent pericardial effusion. We present a unique case of myopericarditis with a pericardial effusion caused by Influenza A. Our patient was presented with elevated troponin and BNP. Chest x-ray showed an enlargement of the cardiac silhouette and clear lungs. CT angiography was remarkable for pericardial effusion. An echocardiogram was performed which demonstrated mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with small to moderate circumferential pericardial effusion, and no echocardiographic signs of cardiac tamponade. The significance of our case makes clinicians aware that acute myopericarditis with concurrent pericardial effusion can lead to fatal complications such as cardiac tamponade or cardiogenic shock if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment as presented in our case could reduce the risk of such severe cardiac events from occurring.
