Near missed reversible cardiomyopathy: The value of the electrocardiogram.
Article in International journal of pediatrics & adolescent medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a devastating disease affecting the myocardium that is characterized by cardiac chamber dilatation with contractile function impairment in the absence of structural heart disease. The majority of cases are idiopathic; these patients have a poor outcome. However, identifying a reversible etiology and instituting appropriate intervention could reverse the disease process and result in complete recovery. An electrocardiogram is a simple, non-invasive and quick test that should be performed in each patient presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy. Failure to perform this test or misinterpreting its result could result in a tragic misdiagnosis of idiopathic cardiomyopathy, depriving the patient of a potentially curative intervention. Here, we report two cases of dilated cardiomyopathy caused by clinical conditions with recognizable ECGs. In both cases, the diagnosis was missed initially, delaying corrective interventions. These cases draw attention to the importance of performing and correctly interpreting ECGs in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
