Heartbeats interrupted - unveiling cardiac sarcoidosis.
Article in The British journal of cardiology, 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
Cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare but potentially deadly complication of systemic sarcoidosis, in which the heart is affected by immune dysregulation and granulomatous infiltration. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with worsening breathlessness and bradycardia secondary to complete heart block. Workup with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging showed an increased signal on late gadolinium enhancement sequences in the anteroseptum and inferoseptum consistent with active infiltration from cardiac sarcoidosis. High-resolution computed tomography of the chest showed multifocal ground-glass opacities with a peribronchovascular distribution in keeping with sarcoidosis. A dedicated CT scan of the chest showed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. A further positive emission tomography scan confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis in the left ventricle. The findings were discussed in the cardiology multidisciplinary team meeting and it was decided the patient needed an implantable cardioverter defibrillator with further follow-up with the respiratory and cardiology team.
