Cardiac Sarcoidosis Mimicking Anterior Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Annals of nuclear cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 58-year-old asymptomatic man with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality was referred to our institution for cardiac exams. His ECG showed a bifascicular block, and the echocardiography demonstrated a wall motion abnormality in apex. Stress-rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) showed a significant defect in anterior wall with partial redistribution at rest. He was suspected of having an anterior myocardial infarction (MI) and underwent cardiac catheterization. However, coronary angiography (CAG) revealed no significant coronary atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) was performed to evaluate the extent of myocardial infarction. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) demonstrated a significant epicardial and midmyocardial LGE in the multiple site including anterior, anteroseptal, lateral, inferior wall, and basal right ventricle junction, which strongly indicated that the fibrosis was due to cardiac sarcoidosis (CS).A myocardial perfusion defect in anterior wall shown in the MPI revealed the fibrosis as an atypical finding mimicking anterior MI.
