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

Viral infections have multiple mechanisms of affecting internal and external organs by direct invasion or by molecular mimicry. They have also been described as triggers for inflammatory processes like hyperinflammatory syndrome (HIS), Adult-onset Stills Disease (AOSD), and myocarditis [1]. Here we report an interesting case of a young adult with recent infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) who presented with myocarditis requiring circulatory support in the cardiac care unit. During the admission, he was found to have concurrent cytomegalovirus (CMV) mononucleosis syndrome and presentation consistent with HIS resembling AOSD. This patient had multiple etiologies that could have caused myocarditis: CMV infection, COVID-19 infection, and HIS. As noted, viral infections have been proposed as potential triggers for the onset of HIS and AOSD with unknown mechanisms. We aim to add to the literature regarding CMV infection in an immunocompetent host causing myocarditis and HIS with features of AOSD with recent history of COVID-19 infection.
