A case of acute myocarditis associated with Chlamydia trachomatis infection: role of cardiac MRI in the clinical management.
Article in Infection, 2014. 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
We report the case of a 32-year-old male with Chlamydia trachomatis infection and admitted with chest pain, signs of myocardial damage and coronary arteries free from significant atherosclerotic disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) documented imaging patterns of myocardial involvement suggestive of acute myocarditis, and repeated cardiac MRI examinations were used to define appropriate clinical management of the patient. In particular, the decision to submit the patient to an additional antibiotic course was based on evidence of persisting myocardial edema, while no further treatments were prescribed once these imaging findings disappeared. The case emphasizes the potential value of cardiac MRI as the only non-invasive modality currently available for evaluating the temporal evolution of myocardial involvement after acute myocarditis.
