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 manifestation of severe thyrotoxicosis, and presentation with coma is highly atypical. A 32-year-old woman, previously euthyroid, presented in a comatose state with tachycardia, hypertension and pyrexia. The patient's trachea was intubated in the community and she was subsequently admitted to the intensive care unit with a working diagnosis of meningoencephalitis. Although hypertension was present initially, subsequent hypotension necessitated a noradrenaline infusion. The patient remained persistently tachycardic and pyrexial. Initial laboratory investigations, including examination of cerebrospinal fluid, did not identify a specific diagnosis. Subsequently, raised thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels alongside undetectable thyroid-stimulating hormone confirmed the diagnosis of thyroid storm. Following treatment for thyrotoxicosis, the patient made a full recovery and was discharged from the intensive care unit after three days. This case highlights the importance of considering thyroid disease in critically ill patients presenting with non-specific symptoms.
