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

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), historically known as the Churg-Strauss disease, is a small- to medium-sized vessel multi-organ vasculitis with a propensity to involve the heart. EGPA is a rare condition with an estimated annual incidence of one to 4.2 people per million. The cardiac involvement causes significant morbidity and mortality in EGPA patients. Approximately 50% of the deaths in EGPA are related to cardiac disease and occur within the first few months since diagnosis. The current recommendations support evaluation of cardiac involvement by using history, physical exam and multimodality imaging including echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Here, we report a rare case of eosinophilic myocarditis in a 19-year-old patient with EGPA seen on CMR. Pertinent literature is also reviewed. We highlighted the importance of CMR in diagnosing and follow up of EGPA patients.
