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

Acute myocarditis (AM) is an inflammatory condition of the myocardium that may lead to severe complications, including acute heart failure and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). In-hospital VAs are estimated to affect 2.5% of adult patients with AM. Recent insights suggest a genetic predisposition to develop VA in a subset of patients with AM. This review will focus on arrhythmogenic manifestations of AM, highlighting risk stratification for VA after an acute episode and the contribution of genetic factors, emphasizing the need to integrate clinical, imaging, and genetic findings. In addition, prognostic information derived from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging will be discussed, pointing out the association between VA and the presence, extension, and septal localization of late gadolinium enhancement. The overlap between inherited arrhythmogenic and inflammatory cardiomyopathies will be explored, with specific attention to the identification of desmosomal gene variants, which are associated with recurrent myocarditis-like episodes and a higher risk of VA. Cardiac sarcoidosis, giant cell myocarditis, and immune checkpoint inhibitors-related myocarditis will be discussed as a paradigm of inflammatory cardiomyopathies with increased arrhythmic burden. Finally, the clinical challenges of managing patients with AM and arrhythmogenic presentation will be tackled, looking at indications for implantable cardioverter defibrillators after the acute phase.
