Myocarditis as the Initial Presentation of a Refractory Adult-Onset Still's Disease.

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 present a case of adult-onset Still's disease, a rare disease that presented with a rare complication, myocarditis. After initial therapy with prednisolone 1 mg/kg/day, the patient experienced dyspnea due to severe pleural effusion and palpitations on account of new-onset supraventricular tachycardia. Therapy with three consecutive pulses of 1000 mg of methylprednisolone and anakinra 100 mg/day proved to be effective, with a progressive resolution of all symptoms. However, at three months follow-up, oligoarthritis recurred along with high serum ferritin. Secondary failure to anakinra was assumed, and a switch to tocilizumab 162 mg was made. Nevertheless, arthralgia of the wrists and knees as well as high serum ferritin still persisted after two months of therapy. Chronic disease was assumed, and the patient switched to canakinumab 4 mg/kg/dose q4week, and a complete resolution of symptoms occurred with normalization of inflammation markers. Follow-up cardiac magnetic resonance showed a complete resolution of heart involvement.
