Cardiac tamponade as initial presentation of SLE: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a globally prevalent autoimmune disease that affects nearly every body organ and involves multiple systems. Pericarditis is common in lupus patients, whereas cardiac tamponade is much less frequent. The occurrence of pericardial effusion and tamponade as initial symptoms is even more uncommon. Here we present a case of a 22 year old female who initially presented with recurrent pericardial tamponade, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of SLE. The occurrence of tamponade in individuals with SLE is unpredictable and typically correlated with radiographic signs of cardiomegaly. Timely recognition is crucial for prompt intervention, and sharing this case contributes to collective knowledge, making healthcare professionals more vigilant about considering autoimmune disorders in patients presenting with cardiac emergencies.
