Cardiac Arrest Following Treatment With Diltiazem for Atrial Fibrillation With Rapid Ventricular Response.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present the case of a 43-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation and poor medical compliance who presented to the emergency department with palpitations for three hours. Electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response at 119 beats per minute. Following administration of diltiazem 10 mg IV, the patient became bradycardic with a rate of 30 beats per minute and complete atrioventricular node block. A subsequent ECG revealed asystole, and the patient became unresponsive. Chest compressions were administered, and the rhythm changed to ventricular tachycardia. There was spontaneous return of circulation without any further intervention. The patient eventually converted to sinus rhythm and was started on anticoagulation to prevent a thrombotic event. He was discharged the next day with apixaban and propafenone.
