Review in Current cardiology reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Sarcoidosis with cardiac involvement is underdiagnosed and can put patients at risk of morbidity including conduction defects, arrhythmias and heart failure, as well as sudden cardiac death. In addition, cardiac sarcoidosis may have no clinical manifestations or non-specific presentation and diagnosis may be difficult on clinical criteria. Investigation for cardiac sarcoidosis should be considered in those with extra-cardiac sarcoidosis and cardiac findings as well as those under the age of 60 years presenting with atrioventricular block without a clear cause. Advanced imaging modalities including cardiac magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography may help in both the diagnosis and assessment of response to treatment for cardiac sarcoidosis. This ultimately may help to minimize associated adverse outcomes from this enigmatic disease.
