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

We present two female patients with recurrent episodes of myocardial injury, consisting of acute chest pain and elevated cardiac markers without coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging identified extensive late gadolinium enhancement suggestive of an inherited cardiomyopathy. Genetic testing showed heterozygous pathogenic variants in the desmoplakin (DSP) gene, the gene coding for the desmoplakin protein, a structural protein found in the cardiac desmosome. Pathogenic variants in the DSP gene are associated with dilated and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. DSP cardiomyopathies may cause recurring myocardial injury mimicking an acute coronary syndrome or myocarditis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is key in its diagnosis due to its specifying imaging features. Genetic testing is essential for the evaluation and confirmation of the diagnosis.
