Lithium-induced Cardiotoxicity: A Rare Clinical Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
Lithium has been used effectively used in the management of mood disorders, such as bipolar disease, acute mania, and hypomania. As the therapeutic index is very narrow for lithium, it is important to monitor lithium levels periodically to avoid toxic effects. Common toxic effects include diarrhea, tremor, muscle weakness, ataxia, and myoclonus. Severe toxicity can present with seizures, coma, and death. Cardiotoxicity secondary to lithium is rarely reported in the medical literature and can range from dysrhythmias and cardiomyopathies to myocardial infarction. We describe an interesting case report of cardiac toxicity secondary to lithium in a bipolar patient managed conservatively in an intensive care setting.
