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 a nonischemic inflammatory disease of the myocardium that can be triggered by a multitude of events, including viral infection and toxins. Recently, there has been heightened interest in myocarditis given its association with COVID-19 vaccination. Timely identification of myocarditis can affect patient management and prognosis. Therefore, it is crucial for radiologists and cardiac imagers to understand the role of cardiac imaging to establish a diagnosis and inform treatment decisions. Cardiac MRI is the most important noninvasive imaging modality for evaluation of myocarditis, with typical findings of focal or diffuse myocardial edema and myocardial damage, including presence of late gadolinium enhancement. There are currently limited data available to indicate that the pattern of myocardial injury following COVID-19 vaccination is similar to other causes of myocarditis, although the severity of disease may be relatively mild. A description of the role of imaging and typical imaging features will be reviewed here, with a focus on emerging data in the setting of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination.
