Characteristics and incidence of cardiac events across spectrum of age in cardiac sarcoidosis.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2024. 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
Background: Clinical characteristics and the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) according to the age of initial diagnosis are unclear. Methods: This study is a sub-analysis of the ILLUMINATE-CS registry, which is a retrospective, multicenter registry that enrolled patients with CS between 2001 and 2017. Patients were divided into three groups according to the tertile of age at the time of initial diagnosis of CS. The study compared the clinical background at the time of CS diagnosis and the incidence rate of cardiac events across age categories. Results: A total of 511 patients were analyzed in this study. In baseline, older patients were more likely to be female. History of hypertension, heart failure admission, and atrioventricular block were more common in patients with older age. There was no significant difference in the history of ventricular arrhythmias and left ventricular ejection fraction among all age groups. During a median follow-up period of 3.2 [IQR: 1.7-4.2] years, 35 deaths, 56 heart failure hospitalization, and 98 fatal ventricular arrhythmias was observed. The incidence rate of all-cause death and heart failure hospitalization was significantly higher in patients with older age (p < 0.001), while there was no significant difference in the incidence rate of ventricular arrhythmia among age groups (p = 0.74). Conclusions: In patients with CS, the risk of all-cause death and heart failure hospitalization was higher in older patients compared with other age groups; however, the risk of ventricular arrhythmia was comparable across all age groups.
