An Unusual Case of Lyme Carditis With Persistent Third-Degree Heart Block.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Lyme's carditis and neuroborreliosis are common manifestation of disseminated Lyme disease. However, third-degree atrioventricular blocks with Lyme's carditis requiring permanent pacemaker with neuroborreliosis and Lyme's disease-associated immunodeficiency are uncommon. Here we present a case of 64-year-old female presenting with neurological symptoms and electrocardiogram changes suggestive of complete heart block with no improvement in the degree of heart block with intravenous antibiotics, requiring permanent pacemaker implantation and course complicated by fungemia.
