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

In this case series, we describe the diagnosis of post-COVID-19 myocarditis in asymptomatic patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and a mild COVID-19 disease course. These patients were referred for CMR due to electrocardiographic and echocardiographic alterations, which did not exist before COVID-19 infection. CMR identified the presence of severe myocardial inflammation in all patients based on abnormally elevated myocardial T2 ratio, late gadolinium enhancement, native T1 mapping, T2 mapping, and extracellular volume fraction. This was paired with concurrent impairment of left ventricular function. Appropriate treatment was initiated in all cases. Two of the four patients developed episodes of ventricular tachycardia during the following 6 months, and a defibrillator was implanted. Despite the mild clinical presentation, this case series demonstrates the diagnostic strength of CMR in the diagnosis and evaluation of post-COVID-19 myocarditis and serves to increase awareness of this potential complication amongst treating physicians.
