Sarcoidosis Masquerading as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and infiltrative cardiomyopathies are important causes of cardiogenic syncope with overlapping clinical and radiologic features. CASE SUMMARY: A 49-year-old gentleman presented with syncope while walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. Electrocardiogram revealed low-voltage QRS with diffuse T-wave inversions. Echocardiography revealed moderate left ventricular hypertrophy, wall motion abnormalities with left ventricular ejection fraction 35% to 40%, and a dilated, hypokinetic right ventricle. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed biventricular hypertrophy and evidence of late gadolinium enhancement. Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) 18F-FDG revealed right ventricle uptake along with matching late gadolinium enhancement and FDG avidity in the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. Endomyocardial biopsy showed noncaseating granulomas, confirming sarcoidosis. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was inserted. Despite immunosuppression and guideline-directed medical treatment, the patient eventually required cardiac transplantation. DISCUSSION: Cardiac sarcoidosis mimicking genetic cardiomyopathy, and vice versa, has often been reported. Combined PET/MR helped distinguish these pathologies in our patient. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Cardiac sarcoidosis can mimic HCM; multimodal imaging, including PET/MR, guided by clinical suspicion, is important. Biventricular involvement in HCM is infrequent.
