1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 challenging to diagnose given its heterogeneous presentation and the limited sensitivity of conventional fluoroscopy-guided endomyocardial biopsy. As a result, diagnosis is often delayed or missed entirely. Electroanatomic mapping-guided endomyocardial biopsy has emerged as a strategy to improve diagnostic yield and is, for the first time, acknowledged in the 2025 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for myocarditis and pericarditis with a Class IIa recommendation, should biopsy be indicated. We present 3 cases illustrating the diagnostic utility and limitations of electroanatomic-guided endomyocardial biopsy within a multimodal diagnostic framework for cardiac sarcoidosis.
