Primary hypoparathyroidism presenting with heart failure and ventricular fibrillation.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A 24-year-old female presented with sudden heart failure and ventricular fibrillation. A complete work-up suggested the existence of primary hypoparathyroidism in an otherwise previously healthy young woman. Left ventricle enlargement was detected by echocardiography with an ejection fraction of 30%. Electrolyte disorders dominated the laboratory results, with severe hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia and other changes, which were corrected with infusion therapy. An improvement of her overall condition prompted a switch from electrolyte infusion therapy to the oral route after the first week of treatment. The patient was discharged under calcium, calcitriol, diuretics and angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitors oral maintenance therapy. Two months after discharge, her ejection fraction remained low (33%), although the end-systolic volume had returned to normal values, and her general status had substantially improved. Within a period of 4 months her cardiac function improved significantly and the follow-up surveillance echocardiography showed an ejection fraction of 53%, with normal left ventricle dimensions.
