From trivial to severe arrhythmias: the diagnostic role of multimodality imaging in inflammatory cardiomyopathy through a case series.

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
backgroundThe diagnosis of inflammatory cardiomyopathy remains challenging in cases presenting with arrhythmia as sole manifestation. An early diagnosis is critical as it may prevent life-threatening complications such as sudden cardiac death and atrioventricular block (AVB). The diagnostic workup of suspected cases includes multimodality imaging that requires an adequate interpretation in order to limit the risk of overdiagnosis. CASE SUMMARY: Herein, we report three cases presenting with various new-onset arrhythmias. The first patient was admitted for a third-degree AVB. The second patient suffered from a supraventricular tachycardia which degenerated into ventricular fibrillation. The third case was investigated for symptomatic premature ventricular complexes. No apparent heart disease was observed on standard exams (clinical, biological examinations, and echocardiography). However, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear imaging ( DISCUSSION: These cases emphasize the incremental diagnostic yield of multimodality imaging to highlight myocardial inflammation. Nuclear imaging modalities may complement MRI by enabling the detection of active inflammation. The
