Tuberculous constrictive pericarditis diagnosed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: A case report.
Article in 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
rationaleConstrictive pericarditis (CP) is a diagnostic challenge due to its nonspecific and insidious presentation. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 38-year-old man presented with bilateral lower limb edema and exertional dyspnea. DIAGNOSES: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated pericardial thickening, late gadolinium enhancement, and interventricular septal bounce. Tuberculous CP was considered based on imaging findings, positive interferon-gamma release assay, therapeutic response, and epidemiologic background.
interventionsThe patient was treated with anti-tuberculosis therapy without surgical pericardiectomy. OUTCOMES: Follow-up imaging showed near-complete resolution of pericardial thickening and effusion, with sustained clinical improvement. LESSONS: This case highlights the value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the early diagnosis of inflammatory CP and supports the role of medical therapy in selected patients.
