Severe Hypotension After Amlodipine Use for Hypertension in a Newborn on Beta Blocker Therapy for Thyrotoxicosis.
Article in Drug safety - case reports, 2015. 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
A 35-year-old woman with a 9-year history of Grave's disease delivered a male infant weighing 2,210 g at 32 weeks of gestation by caesarean section. The neonate developed thyrotoxicosis and, at the age of 24 h, was treated with oral carbimazole (500 µg every 8 h) and propranolol (2 mg/kg/day in two divided doses). He subsequently developed hypertension on day 4, which required therapy with amlodipine (0.1 mg once daily). Severe hypotension developed within 24 h and required discontinuation of amlodipine, with initiation of intravenous inotropic support with dopamine and dobutamine (at a rate of 20 µg/kg/min). The blood pressure rapidly normalized, and both dopamine and dobutamine infusions were stopped within 36 h. A Naranjo assessment score of 6 was calculated, indicating that the severe hypotension was a probable adverse drug reaction caused by the combination of amlodipine and propranolol therapy.
