Of ions and temperature: the complicated interplay of temperature, fluids, and electrolytes on myocardial function.
Article in Critical care (London, England), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This article discusses the potential of levosimendan to treat calcium-induced myocardial dysfunction associated with deep hypothermia. Moderate hypothermia (30 to 34°C) usually improves myocardial contractility and stabilizes heart rhythm, but deep hypothermia can cause severe myocardial dysfunction, which is mediated by intracellular calcium overload. In experimental studies, levosimendan appears effective in reversing this. Clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings and to determine whether levosimendan could also be used for accidental hypothermia and perhaps to mitigate diastolic dysfunction under moderate hypothermia.
