Lactate Dehydrogenase Indicates Development From Fulminant Myocarditis to Chronic Persistent Myocarditis: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study in China.

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: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a critical manifestation of myocarditis. However, the clinical features and risk factors associated with its adverse outcomes are not fully understood. Given the high mortality and potential for long-term complications, it is crucial to identify factors that could predict the progression of FM to chronic persistent myocarditis. We hypothesize some clinical or laboratory markers may be predictive of this progression. This study aims to identify clinical factors that may help predict the progress of FM to chronic persistent myocarditis. Methods: A total of 82 patients with FM treated based on Chinese protocol were included. Kaplan-Meier curve and regression analysis were used to determine the clinical features and prognostic predictors of chronic persistent myocarditis in patients with 24 months of follow-up. Results: Chronic persistent myocarditis was observed in 20 patients during the follow-up. ROC curve showed that the critical value for chronic persistent myocarditis caused by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was 577.00U/L (sensitivity 75.0%, specificity 74.2%). Time from onset to admission over 6 days and LDH > 577.00U/L were identified as risk factors for chronic persistent myocarditis in patients with FM in both univariate and multivariate cox analysis. The hazard ratio and 95% Confidence intervals were 3.35 (1.32-8.50) (p = 0.011) and 6.11 (2.02-18.48) ( Conclusion: About 24.4% of the patients with FM treated based on the life support measures proposed in the consensus of Chinese Society of Cardiology have been observed chronic persistent myocarditis. Time from onset to admission over 6 days and LDH levels >577.00 U/L at admission may serve as risk factors for the progression from FM to chronic persistent myocarditis.
