Pericardiectomy with routine cardiopulmonary bypass: a multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 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
Constrictive pericarditis is a result of chronic inflammation characterized by thickening and calcification of pericardial fibers, impaired diastolic filling, reduced cardiac output, and ultimately heart failure. The main objective of this multicenter trial is to evaluate whether conventional extracorporeal circulation pericardial resection has a better prognosis than pericardial resection without extracorporeal circulation. This study is a multicenter, randomized controlled, evaluator blinded, parallel group study with an advantageous framework. A total of 436 participants with constrictive pericarditis will be randomly assigned to either the extracorporeal circulation pericardial resection group or the non-extracorporeal circulation pericardial clearance group in a 1:1 ratio using a computer. Incomplete pericardial detachment is associated with low cardiac output syndrome after pericardial resection. The causes of low cardiac output syndrome are related to incomplete resection of thickened pericardium, unsatisfactory relief of left ventricular compression, excessive ventricular dilation after pericardial dissection, myocardial weakness, and heart failure. The relief of left ventricular compression is crucial for the postoperative recovery of cardiac function.
