Recurrent Gastropericardial Fistula: 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Gastropericardial fistula (GPF) is a rare but serious complication that can develop years after upper gastrointestinal surgeries. We present the third documented case of recurrent GPF in a 77-year-old male with a complex surgical history, including hiatal hernia repair and multiple thoracic procedures. The patient exhibited nonspecific symptoms, including chest pain, vomiting, and signs of sepsis. Diagnosis was confirmed through CT and esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Treatment involved several surgical interventions: creation of a pericardial window, takedown of the GPF, and placement of an omental flap. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis, prompt and aggressive surgical management, and diligent postoperative care in addressing GPF.
