Getting around the gut: a unique management challenge of thyroid storm precipitated by amphetamine-associated duodenal ischaemia leading to compromised enteric absorption.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 rare, life-threatening endocrine emergency with a high mortality rate of up to 30%. We present a unique management challenge of a critically ill patient who developed thyroid storm in the setting of a duodenal perforation from amphetamine-associated non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia. The diagnosis of 'thyroid storm' was made based on clinical criteria and a Burch-Wartofsky score of 100. During emergent exploratory laparotomy, a 1 cm duodenal perforation with surrounding friable tissue was found and repaired. Intraoperatively, a nasogastric tube was guided distal to the area of perforation to allow for enteric administration of medications, which was critical in the setting of thyroid storm. Therapeutic plasma exchange achieved biochemical control of our patient's thyroid storm but ultimately did not prevent in-hospital mortality.
