Infantile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy masquerading as cardiac tamponade: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in infancy often follows a rapidly progressive clinical course, with many cases becoming fulminant and fatal. We reported a case of a 4-month-old infant with worsening breathlessness. While admitted, she was in severe respiratory distress and appeared drowsy. We also noted indiscernible heart sounds from physical examination and cardiomegaly with a globular cardiac silhouette from chest X-ray. Considering her distressing clinical presentation, we suspected cardiac tamponade and performed an emergent transthoracic echocardiography to confirm our suspicion. Echocardiogram, however, demonstrated only mild pericardial effusion-insufficient to explain her symptoms. Moreover, we found exceedingly thick myocardium consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, so we initially focused our treatment strategy on congestion relief.
