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

Myocarditis is as an important cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among athletes. The incidence of SCD ascribed to myocarditis did not change after the introduction of pre-participation screening in Italy, due to the transient nature of the disease and problems in the differential diagnosis with the athlete's heart. The arrhythmic burden and the underlying mechanisms differ between the acute and chronic setting, depending on the relative impact of acute inflammation versus post-inflammatory myocardial fibrosis. In the acute phase, ventricular arrhythmias vary from isolated ventricular ectopic beats to complex tachycardias that can lead to SCD. Atrioventricular blocks are typical of specific forms of myocarditis, and supraventricular arrhythmias may be observed in case of atrial inflammation. Athletes with acute myocarditis should be temporarily restricted from physical exercise, until complete recovery. However, ventricular tachycardia may also occur in the chronic phase in the context of post-inflammatory myocardial scar.
