Chronic pericarditis secondary to pericardial lymphangioma. An unusual presentation of an unusual tumor: case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. 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
Pericardial lymphangiomas are exceptionally rare and affect both children and adults. Although they are usually asymptomatic, they can cause symptoms secondary to the mass effect, from syncope or palpitations to arrhythmia or congestive heart failure. The most reliable diagnostic methods are echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, with subsequent confirmation by histopathology. Its treatment consists of complete surgical resection. We present the case of a 2-year-old female patient with a definitive diagnosis of pericardial lymphangioma who debuted with cardiac tamponade and hemodynamic repercussions. She underwent a pleuropericardial window by lateral thoracotomy with resection of nodular masses at the posterior level of the pericardium without complications. The patient's evolution and prognosis were favorable.
