Zinc Deficiency as a Reversible Cause of Heart Failure.
Article in Texas Heart Institute journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Zinc, an essential micronutrient, affects the heart by modulating cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and maintaining myocardial structure, among other mechanisms. In cross-sectional studies, patients with heart failure have often had zinc deficiencies, suggesting effects on the ongoing pathogenesis of heart failure. Low plasma and myocardial zinc levels may cause reversible cardiomyopathy in patients who have nutritional deficiencies. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with anorexia nervosa and new-onset heart failure whose depressed left ventricular systolic function improved after zinc supplementation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of low plasma zinc levels as the chief cause of cardiomyopathy that resolved after zinc supplementation.
