The Prognostic Value of Natriuretic Peptides in Stable Patients with Suspected Acute Myocarditis: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Risk stratification in acute myocarditis is based on the clinical signs of heart failure, the degree of cardiac dysfunction, and the findings in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). The aim of the current study is to examine the prognostic yield of the natriuretic peptide N-terminal-pro hormone Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in acute myocarditis among patients with preserved/mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We retrospectively analyzed 59 patients (median age 28 years, 76% males) with ICD-9 discharge diagnosis of acute myocarditis. Basic characteristics, echocardiographic, and laboratory parameters were obtained from computerized files. The median length of stay was 3, (IQR 2−5) days, and the median LVEF was 48% (IQR, 54−62%). High levels of NT-proBNP and CRP were associated with increased length of stay (r = 0.57, p < 0.001; r = 0.4 p = 0.001, respectively), while troponin level was not (r = 0.068, p = 0.61). During the index hospitalization, complications occurred in 14 (23.7%) patients. High NT-proBNP and CRP levels were associated with complications (p < 0.001, and p = 0.001, respectively), while troponin level was not (p = 0.452). In conclusion, routine measurement of NT-proBNP and CRP are preferred over troponin for risk stratification in hemodynamically stable myocarditis.
