1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 70-year-old man with advanced lung adenocarcinoma visited our hospital complaining of dyspnea. He was diagnosed with cardiac tamponade and underwent pericardial drainage. Pericardial effusion reaccumulated in 73 days, and right pericardial fenestration was performed. Although his respiratory condition worsened three weeks after the surgery, his chest X-ray showed little change. He died of respiratory failure the next day. Autopsy CT revealed heterogeneously reaccumulated pericardial effusion in the pericardial cavity, which was difficult to detect by frontal chest X-ray. An autopsy revealed adhesions around the fenestration site. Pericardial effusion may heterogeneously reaccumulate in the pericardial cavity due to adhesions. When the respiratory condition worsens even after fenestration for cardiac tamponade, lateral imaging, echocardiography, and chest CT should also be considered.
