Atypical presentation of cardiac sarcoidosis: role of multimodality imaging and review of literature.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is challenging to determine, consequently is under-recognised in clinical practice. The accurate prevalence of CS is possibly underestimated due to unspecific symptoms, subclinical illness and the dearth of universally accepted diagnostic criteria. Totally, non-invasive diagnosis of CS was proposed in 2015 by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare using positron emission tomography and cardiac MRI findings as major criteria and substituting histological verification. We present a case of a 60-year-old woman with pulmonary sarcoidosis presenting with progressively worsening palpitations and recurrent syncope. Her initial evaluation at another hospital facility revealed normal cardiac testing. A detailed evaluation with echocardiography and cardiac MRI helped us arrive at the diagnosis of CS, which resulted in appropriate treatment and resolution of symptoms. We discuss CS in general, the clinical disease, diagnostic algorithms, latest guidelines and management.
