Eosinophilic Myocarditis: A Challenging Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare subtype of myocarditis that is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the myocardium and is associated with peripheral eosinophilia in most cases. The diagnosis is suspected in the presence of acute myocarditis and peripheral eosinophilia and is usually confirmed by endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) before starting steroid therapy. Here, we present a case of severe idiopathic eosinophilic myocarditis in a young man with a history of asthma and peripheral eosinophilia. He was treated with high-dose steroids despite negative EMB, and we noted a dramatic improvement in cardiac function. Our case highlights the importance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and clinical judgment in establishing the diagnosis of EM irrespective of the histopathologic result.
