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

objectiveTo analyze the regularities and clinical features of sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis, and to summarize the differential diagnosis key points between sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis and acute myocardial infarction.

methodsThe case reports about sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis were searched on databases from the establishment of the database to April 1st 2024. The relevant medical records were searched on the hospital information system of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the past 3 years. The case reports and medical records were collected for statistical analysis.

resultTwenty three cases were collected including 22 case reports and 1 case record. Most of the sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis were in elderly men aged 60-75 years old and occurred between the end of the first dose of treatment to the beginning of the second dose. The symptom was nonspecific such as chest tightness and palpitation, sometimes with symptom of myasthenia as muscle weakness or myositisand as muscle soreness. Elevated cardiac biomarkers and changes in electrocardiogram were common, and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction was rarely seen in echocardiography. 9 cases underwent coronary angiography or computed coronary tomography angiography, and 3 cases underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

conclusionThe manifestations of sintilimab-related autoimmune myocarditis are not specific. The medication history and concomitant symptoms are of warning value. Coronary angiography or coronary computed coronary tomography angiography can be helpful when ruling out acute myocardial infarction. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance and myocardial biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. Cardiac biomarkers and the electrocardiogram can assist in diagnosis and prognosis assessment.
