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

introductionExertional heat illness (EHI) is common in hot weather among young athletes, outdoor manual workers and military personnel. EHI can involve multiple organs of the body, including the muscles, kidneys and brain; however, myocardium involvement is infrequent. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe present the case of a 26-year-old male construction worker who worked outdoors in a hot arid environment. He presented with acute kidney injury and rhabdomyolysis and was diagnosed with EHI. During his hospital stay, he developed complete heart block, and cardiac MRI showed features of myocarditis. Work-up to identify other aetiologies of myocarditis was normal. This case highlights the effects of EHI on the myocardium.

conclusionIt is important to keep in mind the various effects of EHI on the myocardium. Myocarditis due to EHI is rare, and conduction defects resulting from it might persist, necessitating specialist intervention. LEARNING POINTS: Exertional heat illness (EHI) can cause end-organ damage and it is imperative to keep in mind the various effects of EHI on the myocardium.Myocarditis due to EHI is rare, and conduction defects resulting from it might persist, requiring specialist intervention.
