Arrhythmia and thyroid dysfunction.
Review in Herz, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
contextArrhythmia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Europe and in the United States. The aim of this review article was to assess the results of the prospective studies that evaluated the risk of arrhythmia in patients with overt and subclinical thyroid disease and discuss the management of this arrhythmia. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A literature search was carried out for reports published with the following terms: thyroid, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, levothyroxine, triiodothyronine, antithyroid drugs, radioiodine, deiodinase, atrial flutter, supraventricular arrhythmia, ventricular arrhythmia, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsade de pointes, amiodarone and atrial fibrillation. The investigation was restricted to reports published in English. EVIDENCE ANALYSIS: The outcome of this analysis suggests that patients with untreated overt clinical or subclinical thyroid dysfunction are at increased risk of arrhythmia. Hyperthyroidism increased atrial arrhythmia; however, hypothyroidism increased ventricular arrhythmia.
conclusionThe early recognition and effective treatment of thyroid dysfunction in patients with arrhythmia is mandatory because the long-term prognosis of arrhythmia may be improved with the appropriate treatment of thyroid dysfunction.
