Fatal Myocarditis in Drug Reaction With Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) Without Mortality-Related Risk Factors: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe drug reaction characterized by skin rash, organ involvement, lymph node swelling, eosinophilia, and atypical lymphocytosis, with myocarditis being a rare but potentially fatal complication. It has been reported that in patients with cardiac involvement due to DRESS, older age and shorter periods between offending drug exposure and symptom onset are associated with mortality. We report a case of fatal DRESS-associated myocarditis in a young woman, occurring one month after drug exposure, despite intensive immunosuppressive therapy. This case report highlights the risk of mortality from DRESS-associated myocarditis even in patients lacking known risk factors.
