Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Clinical medicine & research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare presentation of thyrotoxicosis most commonly associated with Graves' disease. It is rare in Caucasians, but it affects approximately 2% of Asians (occurring in those of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Korean descent) with thyrotoxicosis of any cause. Typical thyrotoxic features may be absent despite biochemical thyrotoxicosis. Hypokalemia and muscle paralysis are the result of an acute intracellular shift of potassium and not due to total body potassium deficiency. TPP is a self-limiting condition that is easily corrected by treatment of the thyrotoxicosis. We present a case of a Filipino man, aged 47 years, who presented to the emergency department with acute bilateral lower extremity weakness and hypokalemia who was subsequently diagnosed with TPP due to Graves' disease.
