Update on Lyme Carditis.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Lyme carditis is an uncommon manifestation of infection with Borrelia bugdorferi. It is easily treated with standard antibiotic regimens and prognosis is excellent, especially if treatment is prompt. For symptomatic or higher degrees of block, patients may require hospitalization for monitoring and occasionally temporary external pacing. Intravenous antibiotics are warranted for such patients. For less severe conduction disturbances, oral therapy suffices.
