Myocardial calcification found in Epstein-Barr viral myocarditis and rhabdomyolysis: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
rationaleThe Epstein-Barr (EB) virus has rarely been reported as a cause of fulminant myocarditis. To our knowledge, the present case is the first report on myocardial calcification in EB viral myocarditis and rhabdomyolysis. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 17-year-old man was admitted to the department with fever, chest tightness, and tachypnea that had been present for 2 days. DIAGNOSES: The initial investigation showed elevated liver enzyme levels, creatine kinase levels, creatine kinase isoenzyme levels, and elevated serum myoglobin. Echocardiography showed that left ventricular motion amplitude decreased. Test for immunoglobin M and immunoglobin G antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus were positive. These findings were consistent with fulminant myocarditis, cardiogenic shock, and rhabdomyolysis.
interventionsThe patient was intensively treated with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). OUTCOMES: Myocardial calcification was observed in the left ventricle walls on CT examination 10 days after the admission. Four months later, the patient is still alive and with adequate daily life. LESSONS: This case indicates that this rare form of myocardial calcification may be associated with EB viral infection and rhabdomyolysis.
