West Nile Virus as a Trigger for Cardiovascular Diseases: A Meta-summary of Case Reports.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. 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
Background: West Nile virus (WNV) has recently been described as a possible trigger of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). There is little data in the literature about this association. Subjects and Methods: In the present meta-summary, eight case reports describing patients who experienced CVDs following a WNV infection were included. Patient characteristics, triggers, and type of syncope were collected. Results: A total of eight patients with a median age of 67.29 (interquartile range: 53-70) years were evaluated; 87.5% were male. Seventy-five percent of patients had an altered mental status. Left ventricular ejection fraction was impaired in five patients (62.5%). Four of eight patients (50%) had arrhythmias, with 3 of them having a normal ejection fraction. Sudden cardiac death was reported in one patient (12.5%). Conclusions: CVDs due to WNV have been associated with myocarditis and arrhythmias, among elderly patients, males, and those with neurological impairment.
