1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Sarcoidosis is an immune-mediated, inflammatory, non-caseating-granulomatous disease that can virtually infiltrate any organ. Cardiac sarcoidosis is a leading cause of death in patients with sarcoidosis. Its clinical presentation is highly heterogenous and unpredictable, ranging from asymptomatic to life-threatening conduction disturbances, such as ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure. Herein, we report a case of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis presenting as sinus bradycardia with first-degree atrioventricular block and an episode of non-sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a 42-year-old male with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. He was diagnosed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose and treated with oral prednisone.
