Acute myocarditis masquerading as anterior wall myocardial infarction: A case report.

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
Introduction: Myocarditis is the inflammation of the myocardium. The clinical presentation of myocarditis ranges from asymptomatic state to acute heart failure which may mimic acute coronary events. Because of the similar presentation of chest pain, elevated cardiac enzymes, and electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, acute myocarditis may rarely masquerade as acute myocardial infarction (AMI). High suspicion is often necessary for treating such patients, keeping in mind the different treatment protocols required for managing each pathology. Methods: SCARE 2020 Guidelines. Case report: We report a case of a young female presenting with sudden onset chest pain with ECG changes suggestive of acute anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI). Further investigations ruled out AWMI, and she was diagnosed with acute myocarditis. She was treated for myocarditis and showed a prompt recovery. Discussion: Acute myocarditis may present clinically similarly to ACS; hence a high level of suspicion is required to differentiate the two entities. The absence of significant cardiovascular risk factors for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, absence of RWMA, and normal coronary angiogram are further suggestive of myocarditis.
