Incidental Discovery of Dystrophic Myocardial Calcification.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundMyocardial calcification is a rare condition, often discovered incidentally during cardiac evaluations. It can result from myocardial necrosis or systemic metabolic disturbances. CASE SUMMARY: A 58-year-old woman presented with palpitations and diarrhea. Atrial fibrillation with spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm was noted, along with a left ventricular mass identified on echocardiogram and confirmed via computed tomography as dystrophic calcification. Management included rehydration, antiarrhythmic therapy, and anticoagulation. The calcification, linked to previous myocardial infarctions, was considered an incidental finding, with no significant systolic dysfunction. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the rare occurrence of dystrophic myocardial calcification following necrosis, a condition that can remain asymptomatic but may predispose patients to arrhythmias or heart failure. Early detection and thorough evaluation, including imaging, are crucial to guide management and surveillance.
