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 of infiltrative disease, such as systemic sclerosis, carries significant morbidity and mortality. All parts of the heart may be affected, although the conduction system is less commonly involved. We report a rare case of systemic sclerosis causing third-degree atrioventricular block and the first known reported case to use cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) as a diagnostic and prognostic instrument. It is not known whether using cardiac CMR in systemic sclerosis with cardiac involvement could lead to earlier intervention with escalation of medical therapy or earlier referral for transplant evaluation.
