Case Report: A rare coexistence in children: constrictive pericarditis, atrial septal defect, and cardiac diverticulum.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
This report describes a rare case of a girl with constrictive pericarditis (CP), coexisting with atrial septal defect (ASD) and cardiac diverticulum. Her echocardiographic features changed in accordance with the hemodynamic alterations as treatment progressed. During a routine echocardiography before surgery, a 9-year-old girl with ASD was unexpectedly diagnosed with CP. This explains why her symptoms and signs were inconsistent with isolated ASD, including lower limb edema and hypoalbuminemia caused by impaired diastolic ventricular function. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of CP and identified a right ventricular diverticulum. To minimize surgical trauma, a step-by-step surgical approach was adopted. Complete pericardiectomy without cardiopulmonary bypass was first performed to alleviate the pathophysiological abnormalities of CP, followed by percutaneous ASD closure to reduce the excessive right heart volume overload. The diverticulum was not treated because of its small size. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery.
