A High-Level Athlete With Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy: A Can't Miss Diagnosis.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundPediatric athletes with tachycardia and ventricular dysfunction are often assumed to have dilated cardiomyopathy or myocarditis, but a broad differential should be maintained. CASE SUMMARY: An 18-year-old competitive athlete presents to the emergency room with tachycardia and chest pain. Electrocardiogram was thought to show high right-atrial tachycardia consistent with sinus tachycardia, and echocardiogram demonstrated diminished left ventricular systolic function without dilation. Viral myocarditis and cardiomyopathy genetic testing were negative. Further observation and workup demonstrated ectopic atrial tachycardia, which was treated, and the patient returned to sports. DISCUSSION: Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is a rare, but reversible, cause of tachycardia and ventricular dysfunction. Exercise stress test can be useful in risk stratification. If returning to sport activity, an emergency action plan must be discussed with the patient and athletic training staff. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy can be a subtle diagnosis but should not be missed, as this disease can be reversible with appropriate treatment.
