Indonesian Study: Triiodothyronine for Infants Less than 5 Months Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
Trial report in Pediatric cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02222532 (Tetronine), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of oral triiodothyronine on time to extubation for infants less than 5 months undergoing heart surgery in Indonesia, and primarily relates to patients in emerging programs with high malnutrition and mortality. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, oral triiodothyronine (T3, Tetronine®) 1 μg/kg-body weight/dose or placebo (saccharum lactis) was administered via nasogastric tube every 6 h for 60 h to treatment group. A total of 120 patients were randomized into T3 (61 patients) and placebo (59 patients) groups. The majority of the patients had moderate to severe malnutrition (55.83%) with a high post-operative mortality rate of 23.3%. The T3 group showed significantly higher serum FT3 levels from 1 until 48 h post cross-clamp removal (p < 0.0001), lower incidence of low cardiac output syndrome at both 6 h (28 [45.9%] vs. 39 [66.1%] patients, p = 0.03, OR 2.3, 95% CI: 1.10-4.81) and 12 h after cross-clamp removal (25 [41.7%] vs. 36 [63.2%], p = 0.02, OR 2.40, 95% CI: 1.14-5.05). Although not statistically significant, the treatment group had shorter median (IQR) intubation time (2.59 [1.25-5.24] vs. 3.77 [1.28-6.64] days, p = 0.16, HR 1.36, 95% CI: 0.88-2.09)] and lower mortality (10 [16.4%] vs. 18 [30.5%], p = 0.07]. Patients with Aristotle score < 10.0 (low risk) receiving T3 had faster extubation than placebo patients (p = 0.021, HR of 1.90, 95% CI: 1.10-3.28) and were significantly less likely to require CPR or experience infection (p = 0.027, OR 8.56, 95% CI:0.99-73.9 and p = 0.022, OR 4.09 95% CI: 1.16-14.4, respectively). Oral T3 supplementation reduced overall incidence of low cardiac output syndrome and significantly reduced the time to extubation in low-risk patients. Therefore, prophylactic oral T3 administration may be beneficial in these patients.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02222532.
