Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy in children, on the link between injurious mutations and inflammation: Two case reports and review of the literature.

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
backgroundIn this case report, we aimed to raise awareness regarding arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) with inflammatory "hot phase" episodes in pediatric patients, which is often misdiagnosed as myocarditis. This condition, caused by aseptic intracellular inflammation, can be misdiagnosed as acute coronary syndrome or myocardial viral infection, with the latter being particularly common in children. Here, we report two pediatric cases of ACM with "hot phase" episodes and discuss the molecular mechanisms leading to aseptic myocardial inflammation due to desmosome and cytoskeletal damage. CASE SUMMARY: The first patient (aged 13 years) was hospitalized after experiencing a single episode of syncope, chest pain, and palpitation. Clinical examination revealed elevated troponin levels, complete right bundle branch block, right ventricular dilation, and normal coronary arteries. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed extensive fibrotic changes in the right ventricle, which was consistent with ACM, and a pathogenic variant in
conclusionACM in children can present with nonspecific inflammatory symptoms, which may be misdiagnosed as myocarditis or coronary artery pathology.
