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

Cardiac involvement in adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) usually manifests as a pericardial disease. Myocarditis is uncommon (prevalence of 7%). However, the cardiocirculatory failure is the second cause of life-threatening AOSD. Herein, we report the case of a 38-year-old man who was diagnosed with myocarditis caused by AOSD. He was treated medically with steroids and methotrexate, and his course was favorable. A literature search in PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases from 1971 to 2019 identified 47 additional cases of myocarditis and AOSD. The main features found in these reports were reviewed and are the following: (i) myocarditis is a rare complication of AOSD manifested by fever, chest pain, dyspnea, and tachycardia; (ii) cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiogram (ECG), transthroracic echocardiography (ECHO), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful noninvasive diagnostic tools; and (iii) myocarditis is a potentially life-threatening complication of AOSD but responds positively to steroids and other immunomodulatory drugs. This review suggests that this entity should be suspected in cases of acute febrile myocarditis after ruling out other causes since a prompt treatment results in a good prognosis.
