Obstructive Shock Resulting From Right Atrial Collapse Compressed by Hepatomegaly: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 57-year-old Rohingya man with chronic hepatitis C and a two-month history of abdominal swelling and bilateral leg edema presented to a hospital in a refugee camp. He was hypotensive (75/50 mmHg), and his hemoglobin was 5.3 g/dL. We found melena after admission. Hypotension persisted after intravenous fluid boluses followed by an infusion and transfusion. Point-of-care ultrasound revealed a significant collapse of the right atrium (RA), compressed by an enlarged liver, with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Our assessment was obstructive shock due to RA collapse caused by hepatomegaly, in addition to hemorrhagic shock. Further extracellular fluid and transfusion improved his condition. RA collapse caused by hepatomegaly can cause obstructive shock.
