A Novel Clinical Score for Differential Diagnosis Between Acute Myocarditis and Acute Coronary Syndrome - The SAlzburg MYocarditis (SAMY) Score.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Acute myocarditis and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are important differential diagnoses in patients with new-onset chest pain. To date, no clinical score exists to support the differentiation between these two diseases. The aim of this study was to develop such a score to aid the physician in scenarios where discrimination between myocarditis and ACS appears difficult. Materials and Methods: Patients with ACS ( Results: A score for prediction of acute myocarditis was calculated using six parameters [age, previous infection, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, C-reactive protein (CRP), and leukocyte count]. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between total score points and the presence of myocarditis ( Conclusion: Our clinical score showed good discrimination and calibration for differentiating patients with acute myocarditis and ACS. Thus, it could support the differential diagnosis between these two disease entities and could facilitate clinical decisions in affected patients.
