The spectrum of myocarditis: from pathology to the clinics.
Review in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, which may occur in isolation or as part of systemic infectious/immune/autoimmune conditions, characterized by vast aetiologic, clinical and histopathologic heterogeneity. The broad spectrum of myocarditis can be categorized according to the prevalent histopathologic pattern including lymphocytic, lympho-histiocytic, eosinophilic and neutrophilic forms, giant cell myocarditis and myocarditis with granulomata. Diverse histopathologic substrates generally reflect different aetiologies and pathogenetic mechanisms and may be critical to clinical decision-making. Active vasculitis, when present, completes the inflammatory spectrum. Unfortunately, the correlation of histopathologic patterns, clinical presentation and disease course in myocarditis is still largely unresolved, due to limited availability of bioptic samples at specific stages of disease and impracticality of serial sampling. We here review the elements supporting an aetiology-driven diagnostic work-up in myocarditis, emphasizing the importance of integrating pathologic studies with clinical features and information derived from multimodality imaging. Furthermore, we explore myocardial inflammation in genetic cardiomyopathies, its role in driving clinical variability and the potential of transcriptomic and proteomic analysis in our understanding of these complex interrelations.
