Is the incidence of perimyocarditis increased following Campylobacter jejuni infection?
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Preliminary case reports have suggested an association between Campylobacter jejuni infection and occurrence of perimyocarditis. In the present study we analysed the incidence of perimyocarditis requiring hospitalization in a Danish cohort of 6,204 patients with Campylobacter-positive stool cultures and compared it to the incidence in a matched control cohort comprising 62,040 subjects. We found no cases of pericarditis in the Campylobacter population and an incidence rate of 3.2 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.8-12.9] per 100,000 person-years in the control population. The incidence rate of myocarditis was 16.1 (95% CI: 2.3-114.4) per 100,000 person-years in the Campylobacter population compared to 1.6 (95% CI: 0.2-11.4) per 100,000 person-years in the control cohort. We found no statistically significant difference in perimyocarditis between the two groups.
