A Rare Case of Fulminant Myocarditis Leading to the Diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

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
backgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with diverse manifestations, including rare occurrences of lupus myocarditis. Clinically significant lupus myocarditis as an early presentation of SLE is exceedingly uncommon. CASE SUMMARY: We present the case of a 20-year-old man with chest pain, altered mental status, and nonspecific constitutional symptoms. Investigations revealed elevated cardiac biomarkers, ST-segment elevation on electrocardiography, and reduced biventricular systolic function on echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed abnormal parametric mapping consistent with myocarditis, confirmed on endomyocardial biopsy. Autoimmune work-up found high antinuclear antibody and double-stranded DNA titers, meeting SLE diagnostic criteria. He was treated with high-dose steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin with eventual improvement in cardiac function. DISCUSSION: This case presents a unique scenario in which myocarditis was one of the only presenting manifestations of SLE. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: A multidisciplinary approach is critical for effective diagnosis and management.
