1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionStress-induced cardiomyopathy is a rare but serious cause of chest pain, which in recent studies has been shown to carry a similar in-hospital mortality to acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The pathophysiology of the disease is thought to be secondary to dysregulated catecholamine effects on myocardium. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a previously healthy female without known thyroid disease who presented to the emergency department for acute chest pain and was found to have thyroid storm-induced cardiomyopathy in a typical stress-induced cardiomyopathy pattern without evidence of coronary disease on catheterization.

conclusionThyrotoxicosis can cause dysregulation of catecholamines and is a rare cause of stress-induced cardiomyopathy. It requires distinct therapies and should be considered by emergency physicians in the workup of acute chest pain with concern for stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
