Role of Multimodal Cardiac Imaging in Pericardial Effusions and Tamponade.
Review in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 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
Pericardial effusion represents a common clinical entity encountered across diverse medical settings, with presentations ranging from incidental findings to life-threatening cardiac tamponade. The accurate diagnosis and management of pericardial effusion and its hemodynamically significant sequelae demand a comprehensive multimodality imaging approach. Echocardiography remains the cornerstone of initial evaluation, providing real-time assessment of effusion size, hemodynamic impact, and guidance for therapeutic interventions. This review synthesizes contemporary evidence from major cardiology societies to present a structured approach to the diagnosis and management of pericardial effusion and tamponade. We emphasize the pivotal role of echocardiography while integrating complementary modalities, including cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Key echocardiographic findings, Doppler parameters, and imaging-guided therapeutic strategies are discussed in detail, with attention to emerging techniques and evidence-based algorithms. Understanding the multimodality imaging approach is essential for optimizing patient outcomes in this potentially life-threatening condition.
