Presumed Infected Bronchogenic Cyst Presenting as Acute Pericarditis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital anomalies arising from abnormal budding of the ventral foregut during early embryogenesis. They are typically located in the mediastinum or pulmonary parenchyma and are mostly asymptomatic. However, complications such as infection, compression, hemorrhage, or rupture may cause significant morbidity. Surgical resection is recommended in symptomatic or complicated cysts and may also be justified in asymptomatic patients to prevent future complications. We report the case of a 40-year-old male who presented with chest pain and dysphagia. A presumptive diagnosis of a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst complicated by acute pericarditis and probable secondary infection was made based on the clinical presentation and imaging findings. The patient underwent robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst. This case highlights a rare but clinically significant complication of a bronchogenic cyst.
