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

Background: Myocarditis refers to myocardial inflammation with necrosis caused by non-infectious of infectious agents such as bacteria, fungi, or drugs. Candida is known to cause myocarditis in healthy and immunocompromised individuals. Diabetes mellitus causes chronic hyperglycemia due to impaired secretion or hypofunction of insulin, induces a compromised state, and increases the risk of contracting various infections. Objective: We report a case of granulomatous myocarditis caused by Candida in a Spontaneously Diabetic Torii rat, a non-obese diabetic model. Case report: A male SDT rat, 61 weeks of age, was housed in conventional environment. The rat was provided a commercial diet and tap water ad libitum. The heart was sampled and prepared the specimen of hematoxylin-and-eosin-, Sirius-red-, Giemsa-, Grocott-stain. Histologically, formation of large granulation tissue was observed in the left ventricular wall. A center of the foci showed necrosis. Moreover, inflammatory cells infiltration and fibrous component were increased surrounding the foci and between myocardial cells. A Grocott and Giemsa staining-positive cell masses occasionally appearing in the foci were considered to be Candida because of their characteristic form. Conclusion: The development and progression of myocarditis were potentially related to a diabetes-induced compromised state.
