A case of myocarditis and associated atrioventricular heart block: a diagnostic conundrum.
Article in The British journal of cardiology, 2024. 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
The combination of atrioventricular (AV) block - specifically highgrade AV block- within the setting of myocarditis, is a rarely encountered clinical phenomenon. It is commonly encountered in infiltrative cardiomyopathies but may be associated with myocarditis. Beyond conventional investigation and consideration of endomyocardial biopsy, there is a paucity of data to guide clinicians with regards to the issue of heart rhythm disorder. Options include a 'watch-and-wait' policy, anti-arrhythmic drugs, consideration of a permanent pacemaker or, alternatively, a wearable or implantable cardioverterdefibrillator (ICD). The case encapsulates the difficulties facing clinicians with such pathology and the need to further investigate and risk stratify such patients.
