Single center experience in surgical treatment of traumatic acute pericardial tamponade: a consecutive series of 12 cases.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
objectiveTo analyze and summarize the experiences in surgical treatment of acute pericardial tamponade.
methodsThe clinical data of 12 consecutive patients with acute pericardial tamponade caused by various types of trauma were retrospectively collected and reviewed.
resultsThere were 9 (75%) males and 3(25%) females. The average age was 45.0 years (range, 29 to 72 years). 9 cases of this cohort were diagnosed by CT. However, 2 cases of acute pericardial tamponade caused by iatrogenic injury were confirmed by angiography and transesophageal echocardiography. 1 case was diagnosed by ultrasonocardiograph, and 1 case by UCG combined with CT scan. Surgical pericardiotomy was performed via different incisions. All 12 patients were discharged without complications.
conclusionAcute pericardial tamponade has different etiologies and complex conditions, and is a catastrophic condition that can be fatal. However, rapid diagnosis, maintenance of vital signs and surgical pericardiotomy are lifesaving methods to treat acute pericardial tamponade patients.
