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

purposeTo evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detection and quantification of myocardial damage related to clinical phases and cardiac function during eosinophilic myocarditis. MATERIALS AND

methodsFour eosinophilic myocarditis patients received seven MRI studies. The left ventricular myocardium was divided into 48 layers, and we quantified the extent of abnormal intensity detected by T2-weighted or delayed enhancement MRI relative to the clinical phase and global cardiac function.

resultsT2-weighted imaging detected extensive myocardial hyperintensity during the acute phase of eosinophilic myocarditis. Diffuse myocardial delayed enhancement was observed in one patient during the acute phase, but not in the other. Little or no hyperintensity was detected by T2-weighted imaging or myocardial delayed enhancement during the convalescent phase. The extent of hyperenhancing myocardial layers was inversely correlated with the ejection fraction (EF) (r = -0.87).

conclusionMRI can evaluate the presence and extent of myocardial damage related to the clinical phases and EF during eosinophilic myocarditis.
