Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) in Determining Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Indication in Acromegalic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Potentially fatal arrhythmia is one of the causes of premature death in acromegalic cardiomyopathy patients who are not properly treated. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is one of the most effective and established treatments to prevent sudden cardiac death due to potentially fatal tachyarrhythmia. However, since the indication of ICD changes depending on whether it is ischemic cardiomyopathy or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, proper diagnosis is important in patients with these diseases. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a convenient and useful tool for diagnosing these. Both potentially fatal arrhythmias and coronary artery disease (CAD) are known to be important complications of acromegaly. Herein, we present a case of potentially fatal tachyarrhythmia due to acromegalic cardiomyopathy with the acute coronary syndrome. Furthermore, we mention the usefulness of CMR in the case which is difficult to determine the indication for an ICD.
