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

Rhinovirus is the main cause of the common cold. There is little to no published literature of rhinoviral associated myocarditis. We report a rare case of rhinovirus infection in a patient with myocarditis leading to dilated cardiomyopathy. Infection is an established cause of myocarditis. Prodromal "flu-like" symptoms in a young patient with unexplained heart failure should raise concern for viral myocarditis. Diagnosis is often made by clinical presentation and not by endomyocardial biopsy due to invasiveness. Polymerase chain reaction is a rapid test that supports the diagnosis and may elucidate the role of the virus in myocarditis. Defining causes and mechanisms leading to this severe cardiovascular condition may prove critical to targeted therapy. Physician should be aware that rhinovirus as a possible pathogen for severe myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy.
