Lyme Carditis Beyond Atrioventricular Block: Cardiac Arrest and Transient Atrial Fibrillation With Preserved Atrioventricular Conduction.
Article in Case reports in cardiology, 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
Lyme disease may involve the heart during early dissemination and most commonly produces atrioventricular (AV) conduction abnormalities. PR interval prolongation, therefore, frequently guides clinical suspicion and management. We describe a previously healthy man who presented with seizure-like activity, aborted cardiac arrest, transient atrial fibrillation, and cardiac magnetic resonance findings consistent with acute myocarditis, although AV conduction remained normal. Serologic testing subsequently confirmed Lyme carditis. The patient recovered completely with oral doxycycline. This case illustrates that electrical instability may occur despite preserved PR intervals and reinforces the need for suspicion in patients with compatible systemic features.
