Myocarditis Triggered by Erysipelas: A Rare Infectious Complication.
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 1 paper.
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
backgroundMyocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium often triggered by viral infections. However, bacterial causes, such as group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus, are less common but clinically significant. CASE SUMMARY: A 26-year-old man presented with acute chest pain after erysipelas of the right foot. Electrocardiography revealed unspecific ST-segment elevations. Cardiac biomarkers were elevated, and transthoracic echocardiography showed global hypokinesia with a reduced ejection fraction. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed myocarditis. Elevated antistreptolysin O titers indicated a recent streptococcal infection. The patient recovered fully after 7 days of intravenous antibiotics. DISCUSSION: This case highlights toxin-mediated myocarditis secondary to erysipelas, a rare but significant clinical entity. The body of evidence on nonrheumatic bacterial myocarditis underscores the importance of early recognition and appropriate imaging. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Streptococcal infections can cause myocarditis through toxin-mediated mechanisms. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is essential for diagnosing myocarditis and guiding management.
