A Case Report on an Underappreciated Cause of Heart Failure: Chronic Viral Myocarditis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 64-year-old male with a history of congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease status post two stents in 2014, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage III, was admitted for acute exacerbation of CHF. Treatment started with blood pressure control and high-dose diuretics. While the patient's volume status improved, his clinical status declined, and he required a dobutamine infusion. Cardiac catheterization revealed nonischemic cardiomyopathy. He was ultimately found to have myocarditis secondary to chronic Coxsackie B infection. A comprehensive investigation ruled out other potential etiologies. This case highlights how viruses continue to be an underappreciated cause of heart failure. Infectious agents should not be underestimated as several types of viral infections carry substantial cardiovascular risks, potentially leading to significant deterioration in decompensated patients.
