Diagnostic Approach for Suspected Acute Myocarditis: Considerations for Standardization and Broadening Clinical Spectrum.
Review in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 most recognized in patients with moderate to severe, recent-onset heart failure. However, less typical presentations including myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries and arrhythmias are important manifestations but less commonly recognized to be caused by myocarditis. Most cases of myocarditis can be self-limiting without specific treatment; however, appropriate identification of risk during the diagnostic process of myocarditis and once a diagnosis is established is of primordial importance to identify patients in need for more specific follow-up and management. We propose a flexible, multitiered approach to the diagnostic process, allowing for capturing of the spectrum of myocarditis at an early time-point, individualized use of diagnostic resources through disease severity phenotyping, and providing structured follow-up care once myocarditis is confirmed. Such diagnostic processes allow for identification of specific etiologies with potential therapeutic consequences or allows for the comprehension of disease chronicity by understanding genetic contributions or elements of persistent immune dysregulation and degree of cardiac damage. The article highlights the evolving field of immunophenotyping in myocarditis, generating a potential for the development of targeted therapeutic approaches. Currently long-term follow-up should be titrated to the refined risk assessments of patients with a diagnosis of myocarditis and includes arrhythmia monitoring and imaging when the results will likely impact management. Genetic testing should be considered in selected cases, and histologic diagnosis may be considered in nonresponders even at later stages.
