Streptococcal Pharyngitis Complicated by Clinically Significant Rheumatic Myopericarditis: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. 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
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is a complication of streptococcal pharyngitis that can present with cardiac, joint, skin, and neurological symptoms. Cardiac manifestations most often involve valvular dysfunction, but can also include myocarditis or pericarditis. Although advances in healthcare have reduced the prevalence of streptococcal pharyngitis, and subsequently ARF, individual cases and outbreaks can still occur. We present a case of rheumatic myopericarditis in a 60-year-old White male who initially presented to the emergency department with sore throat for 6 days. Initial workup was largely unremarkable, and no microbiological testing was performed at that time. He was diagnosed with presumed viral pharyngitis and discharged home with supportive care. He returned 1 week later with pleuritic mid-sternal chest pain and dyspnea. Laboratory tests were significant for elevated inflammatory markers, cardiac enzyme markers, anti-streptolysin O titers, and
