Loeffler Endocarditis Causing Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF): Characteristic Images and Diagnostic Pathway.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We report the case of a 69-year-old female patient in which echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were used to diagnose a patient presenting with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) due to Loeffler endocarditis. Loeffler endocarditis is an uncommon cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, triggered by eosinophil and lymphocyte infiltration of the endomyocardium, followed by the formation of thrombus in the afflicted area, and eventually fibrosis. This condition is due to an increased number of eosinophils associated with allergies, infections, systemic conditions, as well as malignancies and hypereosinophilic syndrome. Loeffler endocarditis can lead to serious complications, such as progressive heart failure, systemic thromboembolic events, or arrhythmias (including sudden cardiac death).
