Cardiac involvement of churg-strauss syndrome as a reversible cause of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular ultrasound, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
A 31-year-old male who had been treated for Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) presented with sudden onset of dysarthria. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed acute multifocal bilateral cerebral infarctions suggesting embolic causes. Cardiac MRI showed dilated cardiomyopathy with severe biventricular dysfunction with intracardiac thrombi, and multiple high signal intensity spots in myocardium of the left ventricle with multifocal delayed enhancement suggesting multifocal myocarditis due to small vessel vasculitis associated with CSS. After anticoagulation therapy, treatments for heart failure, and immunosuppressive therapy including parenteral steroids and cyclophosphamide to control CSS, the symptoms and signs of heart failure and cardiac function of the patient were improved. Considering the pathophysiologic mechanism of cardiac involvement in CSS, immunosuppressive therapy to control the disease activity of CSS should be taken into account, besides usual management for heart failure.
