Voluminous calcified pericardial cyst with severe right ventricular compression: a multimodality imaging case report.
Article in European heart journal. 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
Background: Pericardial cysts are rare lesions that are typically asymptomatic. However, when large or calcified, they may compromise cardiac function. Case summary: We report the case of a 57-year-old man with progressive exertional dyspnoea. Multimodality imaging revealed a large calcified pericardial cyst causing significant right ventricular compression and interventricular dependence. Given his history of prolonged residence in Central America, a parasitic aetiology was suspected. Surgical drainage with partial resection was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histology confirmed a parasitic process. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on antiparasitic therapy with full clinical resolution. Discussion: This case underscores the crucial role of multimodality imaging in the assessment of unusual pericardial disease and highlights the importance of considering parasitic aetiologies in patients with relevant epidemiological risk factors.
