Pediatric airway compromise due to thyroid storm associated with influenza A infection: A case report.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Thyroid storm is a potentially fatal intensification of thyrotoxicosis normally marked by tachycardia, hyperthermia, impaired mental status, and severe agitation. It can be initiated by numerous causes. Failure to promptly diagnose the condition may lead to high mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid storm are essential to prevent further life-threatening complications. A 10-year-old girl was admitted to our emergency center for intensive care. The patient presented tachypnea with stridor, paradoxical abdominal breathing, and "barking" cough. The patient was diagnosed as upper airway obstruction complicated by thyroid storm associated with influenza infection. Following immediate airway management, the patient was administered a short-acting beta-blocker, hydrocortisone, thiamazole, and saturated solution of potassium iodide was initiated. The patient was extubated on day 8 and transferred to a local hospital on day 11 without adverse complications. When examining patients with influenza infection, emergency doctors should be more attentive not to miss other critical diagnoses. The present case was initially diagnosed as croup due to influenza infection. Sharing our experience may help emergency physicians treat similar cases of pediatric airway compromise due to thyroid storm.
