High-degree atrioventricular block in a child with acute myocarditis.
Article in Ochsner journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundViral myocarditis is a common cause of transient electrocardiogram (EKG) abnormalities in children. The clinical presentation of acute myocarditis ranges from asymptomatic infection to fulminant heart failure and sudden death. Many children present with nonspecific symptoms such as dyspnea or vomiting, frequently leading to misdiagnosis. EKG abnormalities are a sensitive indicator of acute myocarditis and are present in more than 90% of cases. CASE REPORT: A 13-year-old female suffered a syncopal episode and was found to have high-grade atrioventricular (AV) block caused by acute presumed viral myocarditis. With close monitoring, the EKG abnormalities resolved over the following 48 hours. In this case report, we discuss the incidence, pathogenesis, and outcomes of conduction disturbances in acute myocarditis.
conclusionHigh-degree AV block can occur in patients with acute myocarditis, and higher-degree AV block is correlated with greater myocardial injury. Additionally, severity of pathological changes may reflect the reversibility of AV block. In the majority of cases, however, this rhythm disturbance is transient and does not require permanent pacemaker placement.
