Clinical and magnetic resonance evolution of "infarct-like" myocarditis.

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
aimsTo analyse the clinical and magnetic resonance evolution of myocarditis in patients with an "infarct-like" presentation pattern.
methodsThe study is a retrospective analysis of 52 patients with clinical diagnosis of "infarct-like" myocarditis confirmed by CMR as acute myocarditis according to Lake Louise criteria and 6 months follow-up. The CMR protocol included T2-weighted (oedema), early (hyperaemia) and late (fibrosis/necrosis) gadolinium enhancement sequences, according to Lake Louise criteria. Clinical and radiological follow-up by CMR was performed after a median time interval of 6 months (interquartile range 5-8). Quantitative outcomes were checked for normality and compared with the non-parametric Wilcoxon's test for matched data.
resultsAt the clinical follow-up all patients were free of symptoms and reported no cardiac complications. The CMR follow-up evidenced a significant increase of the ejection fraction (from 53 ± 6 to 55 ± 4%, p = 0.03), a decrease of the ventricular mass [from 67.0 (58.8-79.0) to 61.0 (54.0-67.0), p < 0.0001] without significant modification of the cardiac volume index (p = 0.26). No patient had residual oedema or capillary leakage: the T2 ratio decreased from 3.94 (3.00-4.86) to 0.98 (0.75-1.17) with p < 0.0001 and the Early gadolinium enhancement (EGE) ratio from 5.7 (4.8-6.5) to 2.9 (2.4-3.2) with p < 0.0001. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) persisted over the course of the follow-up in 48/52 patients, but with a significant reduction in every patient (LGE % from 34.3 ± 9.1 to 19.4 ± 6.6%; p < 0.0001).
conclusionPatients diagnosed with "infarct-like" myocarditis, according to both clinical and CMR examinations may look forward to a positive evolution with a good prognosis.
