Ventricular Arrhythmia as a Presenting Feature in a Patient With Tubercular Myocarditis and Axillary Lymphadenopathy.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThere are very few case studies of tuberculosis (TB)-associated myocarditis published. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a girl in her late adolescence, who presented with ventricular tachycardia. Multimodality imaging with 2D echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance revealed an ejection fraction of 25%, global left ventricular hypokinesia, and moderate mitral regurgitation. Holter monitoring detected nonsustained ventricular tachycardia with varying morphology. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and biopsy confirmed granulomatous lymphadenitis, secondary to TB. The patient was started on guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure and anti-TB treatment, which led to resolution of ventricular tachycardia and improvement of symptoms and left ventricular ejection fraction. DISCUSSION: A case report of myocarditis related to TB takes significance due to India's significant TB burden. While pulmonary TB is the most common presentation, cardiac involvement is often neglected leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Highlighting atypical presentations such as TB-induced cardiomyopathy can enhance diagnostic vigilance.
