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

There is increasing evidence that myocarditis starts as a patchy process, accordingly, the detection of segmental affection is important for early recognition of the disease and proper initiation of anti-inflammatory treatment. We present our first experience here with using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) to detect subtle segmental involvement of the left ventricle in two cases with suspected myocarditis. STE consolidated the diagnosis and helped with the early initiation of intravenous immunoglobulins and subsequent control of the disease. STE was also able to show the specific topography of distribution of each pathogen linked to inflammation.
