Antiviral innate immunity in myocarditis: mechanisms and emerging therapeutics.
Review in Experimental & molecular medicine, 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
Antiviral innate immunity is a decisive determinant of whether cardiotropic viral infection resolves or progresses to myocarditis and deadly heart failure. Viral myocarditis (VM) remains a leading cause of sudden death in children and young adults, yet its human pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely understood and effective therapies are limited. In this Review, we map the cellular and molecular logic of cardiac antiviral innate immunity from first sensing to therapeutic opportunity and synthesize how these responses set the myocardial 'inflammatory set point' across cardiac-resident cells and recruited innate immune cells. We highlight RNA- and DNA-sensing immune signaling pathways that detect cardiotropic RNA and DNA viruses to collectively shape viral control and heart injury during VM. Finally, we connect mechanisms to translation by summarizing emerging biomarkers and clinical trials and by proposing a phase- and etiology-guided therapeutic framework that pairs antiviral immunomodulation with timely restraint of innate proinflammatory amplifiers to limit heart damage and prevent progression from VM to heart failure. This review will provide a roadmap of antiviral innate immunity to accelerate mechanistic discovery and targeted therapy for VM and virus-associated cardiovascular diseases.
