Severe hypoglycemia due to insulin self-injection as a cause of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2019. 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
introductionThe role of hypoglycemia in cardiovascular disease still needs to be evaluated. Incidental case studies provide direct, but so far limited, evidence for the direct impairment of heart caused by hypoglycemia. We present a case of severe hypoglycemia manifesting with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year old man committed a suicidal attempt by insulin self-injection. The emerged hypoglycemia was accompanied by ECG changes and positive troponins confirming the diagnosis of STEMI. Urgent coronary angiography was performed, but no acute coronary artery closure/critical stenosis was found. After resolution of hypoglycemia all signs of ischemia diminished. Insulin and C-peptide levels confirmed exogenous hyperinsulinemia, confirming insulin self-injection. Sadly, the patient suffered irreversible brain damage.
conclusionThis patient case shows that severe hypoglycemia can precipitate acute STEMI.
