Thyroidectomy in a patient with thyroid storm: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Thyroid storm is a life-threatening condition that is generally considered to be a contradiction to surgical intervention. We herein describe the case of a 37-year-old patient with a history of Graves' disease who was transferred to Tottori University Hospital with thyroid storm. She had been followed by her family doctor since 2006, but she had stopped taking her medication of her own volition in 2010. About ten days prior to her admission at our hospital, she consulted her family doctor with complaints of dyspnea, palpitations and general fatigue. Subsequent thyroid function tests showed TSH < 0.01 μU/ml, FT3 25.0 pg/ml and FT4 8.0 ng/dl. She also had acute heart failure, atrial fibrillation and hepatic failure. A diagnosis of thyroid storm was made and she was transferred to our hospital. She received steroids, beta blockade, potassium iodide, and plasma exchange, but her hepatic failure did not resolve and her clinical condition deteriorated. The decision was made to proceed with thyroidectomy. Postoperatively, her hepatic function normalized. Thus, thyroidectomy is a potential therapeutic choice for cases of thyroid storm refractory to medical management.
