AN INTERESTING ETIOLOGY OF VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Intermittent hypoxia and ventilatory intermittence due to sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea can lead to cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, conductance disturbances and cardiac failure. Sub-clinical and overt hypothyroidism is an important physiopathological complex that is linked with cardiovascular risk, alteration of lipidic profile promoting atherogenic mechanisms. The two pathologies combined can exponentially increase the cardiovascular event risk. This case report demonstrates a young patient with obesity and arterial hypertension accusing irregular heart beats. Despite a normal resting ECG and echocardiography the patient presented malignant ventricular arrhythmias revealed on the 24h Holter ECG. The Epworth scale was 20 and the patient presented numerous episodes of hypopnea with an increased apnea-hypopnea index associated with ventricular arrhytmias on the polisomnography. The endocrine profile of the patient revealed a sublinical hypothyroidism that untreated can lead to accelerated atherosclerosis and arrhytmic risk. CPAP treatment alongside the levothyroxine treatment at TSH levels above 10mUI/L have controlled the malignant arrhythmic events without complex antiarrhythmic drugs sustaining the pathogenic contributions of this two pathologies in arrhythmogenesis process.
