Cardiac tamponade presenting as obstructive shock in the first trimester pregnancy - a case report.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundCardiac tamponade is a critical emergency that needs to be recognized and treated without delay. There is a significant knowledge gap regarding cardiac tamponade in early pregnancy, with no reported cases or guidelines on its evaluation and management. The impact of hemodynamic instability on maternal and fetal outcomes remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of 24-year-old gravida 2 para 1 living 1 (G2P1L1) antenatal mother with no prior co-morbidities who developed sudden cardiovascular collapse secondary to cardiac tamponade caused by massive pericardial effusion. The patient did not survive despite timely aggressive resuscitative efforts, owing to refractory shock from severe myopericarditis probably viral origin.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of early point – of – care ultrasound (POCUS) evaluation of pregnant female presenting with unexplained hemodynamic instability and provides critical information on the safety and efficacy of pericardiocentesis in this unique clinical scenario.
