Post-pneumonectomy Cardiac Herniation Management: A Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 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
Cardiac herniation is an uncommon complication of pneumonectomy. It usually occurs when a defect is made in the pericardium during the surgical resection of the lung. It is a life-threatening complication; even after surgical correction, morbidity and mortality rates remain high. We present a case of right-sided cardiac herniation after extrapleural pneumonectomy. This case report describes the difficulty in diagnosing and managing this rare complication. It discusses the causes and pathophysiology of cardiac herniation. We have described the clinical presentation and tools to diagnose such cases. In this case report, we have discussed the available treatment options and measures to prevent this complication. In any patient who acutely deteriorates post-pneumonectomy, cardiac herniation must be considered as one of the differential diagnoses.
