Extracardiac Compression by Gastrointestinal Structures: A Comprehensive Anthology From the Literature.
Review in Cardiology research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Extrinsic heart compression by gastrointestinal (GI) structures is an often underrecognized finding in clinical practice. It is potentially related to unpredictable clinical conditions, ranging from incidental detection in asymptomatic subjects, to deranging and potentially life-threatening clinical manifestations. However, despite its potential clinical relevance, there is still no comprehensive analysis investigating the surrounding causes, clinical findings, and diagnostic imaging work-up for this patient population. A narrative review with an extensive bibliographic search of the literature was performed using PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, and Cochrane Central Databases up to December 31, 2023. Despite the broad spectrum of GI etiologies, clinical manifestations, and cardiac chamber involvement scenarios, physicians must be aware of such an uncommon condition, in order to provide timely diagnosis through a comprehensive imaging approach, avoid misleading interpretations, and determine the most appropriate decision-making strategy.
