Successful rescue of fulminant myocarditis with mechanical circulatory support and immunosuppression therapy: A case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. 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
Myocarditis is challenging to diagnose because of its various clinical manifestations. Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a severe type of myocarditis characterized by heart failure, malignant arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, and cardiac arrest. Its early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for a positive long-term prognosis. Here we report a case of 42-year-old woman who presented with fever, chest pain, and cardiogenic shock. An initial examination showed increased myocardial enzyme levels and diffuse ST-segment elevation. Urgent coronary angiography excluded coronary artery stenosis. Echocardiography revealed decreased left ventricular systolic function. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed cardiomyocyte necrosis and interstitial inflammatory edema. The patient was diagnosed with FM and administered antiviral and anti-infective agents, glucocorticoid, immunoglobulin, and supported with temporary cardiac pacemaker and positive airway therapy, and treated with continuous renal replacement therapy. As her clinical condition deteriorated rapidly, we immediately started an intra-aortic balloon pump and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. She was discharged on day 15 and recovered normally during follow-up. The early initiation of mechanical circulatory support and immunosuppression are life-saving tools for the treatment of FM.
