Pericardial effusion in an infant with cardiac capillary hemangioma: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Primary cardiac tumours in infants are rare, mostly benign, but can cause life-threatening complications. We present a 2-month-old female with respiratory distress, poor feeding, and prior pericardial effusion/cardiac arrest. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a right atrial mass with massive pericardial effusion. Hemodynamic instability prompted urgent surgery. Intraoperatively, the tumour infiltrated the right atrial anterior wall and atrioventricular groove; subtotal resection and atrial reconstruction using a bovine pericardial patch were performed. Histopathology confirmed benign capillary hemangioma (CD31/CD34 positive). The infant recovered well, remaining recurrence-free at one year. This case illustrates the severe potential of cardiac capillary hemangiomas in infants. Despite critical location and rapid progression, surgical debulking stabilized hemodynamics despite incomplete resection.
