1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Approximately 3% of all diagnosed cases of ascites are of cardiac etiology. Although more commonly associated with heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension is a known but rare cause of cardiac ascites, which has not been associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. We present a case of a 75-year-old male with known pulmonary arterial hypertension and new-onset ascites, the fluid analysis of which was consistent with both cardiac ascites and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. He was successfully managed with antibiotics, loop diuretics, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.
