Acute myocarditis: aetiology, diagnosis and management.
Review in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 106 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Acute myocarditis is a serious, likely underdiagnosed condition affecting people of all ages and for which the number of UK hospital admissions is rising. A primary diagnosis of myocarditis accounted for 0.04% (36.5 per 100,000) of all hospital admissions in England between 1998 and 2017, although this is likely to be an underestimate of the true burden of myocarditis. The aetiology is broad, including infective and inflammatory conditions as well as exposure to toxic agents. Clinical features are varied and overlap with other acute cardiac conditions making diagnosis a challenge. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging currently serves as the gold standard non-invasive diagnostic modality. If an underlying aetiological process is identified, then therapy may be directed at the cause; however, for most, treatment is supportive and aimed at managing any complications such as heart failure or arrhythmias. There is emerging evidence for immunosuppressive therapy in certain cases. Prognosis is generally good with recovery in most; however, up to 30% with biopsy-proven myocarditis progress to develop a dilated cardiomyopathy and its potential associated complications. All-cause mortality in the UK for patients presenting to hospital with acute myocarditis is approximately 4%.
