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

When evaluating a patient with ST-segment elevation on ECG and acute chest pain, providers often rapidly arrive at the diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). As myocardial infarction is deadly and time is of the essence in establishing reperfusion, it is reasonable to place it at the top of the differential. However, doing so should not come at the expense of conducting a thorough clinical evaluation, considering all causes of ST-segment elevation, and creating a comprehensive differential. Myocarditis, in particular, can present similarly to myocardial infarction and misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary and sometimes harmful interventions such as thrombolytic therapy, vasodilator therapy, or coronary angiography. We present a case of myocarditis mimicking STEMI and discuss diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis.
