The Hemodynamic Reversal of Delayed-Onset Radiation-Induced Constrictive Pericarditis Obtained by Pericardiectomy.

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 (CP) is often underdiagnosed, partly because of the lack of established diagnostic criteria. Exaggerated ventricular interdependence during inspiration is a hallmark physiological feature of CP. We herein report the case of a 55-year-old patient with CP who demonstrated a hemodynamic improvement following pericardiectomy. This case is characterized by two features: (1) delayed-onset CP 36 years after undergoin thoracic radiotherapy, which developed without pericardial calcification in contrast to severe aortic calcification, and (2) a postoperative improvement of inspiratory-exaggerated ventricular interdependence, documented by intracardiac pressure tracings. This case provides meaningful insight into the diagnosis and management of radiation-induced CP.
