Recurrent myocarditis masquerading as acute myocardial infarction: unmasking Behçet's disease.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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
Myocarditis can closely mimic acute myocardial infarction (AMI), particularly in young patients without atherosclerotic risk factors. We report a 27-year-old man with recurrent severe chest pai7n, transient ST-segment elevations, and markedly elevated high-sensitivity troponin-T, in whom coronary angiography was repeatedly normal. Serial cardiac magnetic resonance and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography revealed a migratory pattern of myocardial inflammation, with new lesions emerging as earlier ones resolved, fulfilling criteria for recurrent myocarditis. Recurrent oral ulcers, folliculitis, arthralgias, and pathergy-like skin reactions raised suspicion for Behçet's disease. Treatment with vasodilators, colchicine, corticosteroids, and azathioprine produced sustained clinical and biochemical remission. This case highlights the importance of considering myocarditis in young patients with recurrent angina-like symptoms and normal coronaries, the value of serial multimodal imaging in detecting migratory inflammation, and the recognition of Behçet's disease as a rare underlying cause of recurrent myocarditis.
