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

backgroundLoeffler's endomyocarditis is a severe manifestation of hypereosinophilia characterized by eosinophil-mediated myocardial injury, mural thrombus formation, and endomyocardial fibrosis. While often idiopathic, it may arise from clonal eosinophilic disorders carrying higher risk of end-organ damage. CASE SUMMARY: A 77-year-old man with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in remission presented 5 years after R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy with subacute confusion and dyspnea. Echocardiography demonstrated a large apical left ventricular thrombus with mildly reduced systolic function. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed diffuse subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement. Progressive eosinophilia (peak: 3.07 × 10 DISCUSSION: This case highlights clonal, potentially therapy-related eosinophilia as an under-recognized cause of Loeffler's endomyocarditis, requiring early diagnosis to prevent irreversible fibrosis and embolic complications.
