Thyroid Storm Patients With Elevated Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels and Associated Left Ventricular Dilatation May Require Percutaneous Mechanical Support.
Article in Critical care explorations, 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
objectivesTo determine the characteristics of thyroid storm patients with acute decompensated heart failure who should be candidates for temporary percutaneous mechanical circulatory support in addition to beta-blocker treatment to prevent cardiogenic shock.
designA single-center, retrospective review of treatment details and data collected from electronic medical records.
settingThyrotoxicosis complicated with acute decompensated heart failure. PATIENTS: Eight consecutive patients who were admitted to our hospital for acute decompensated heart failure with thyroid storm between December 2011 and August 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Of the eight patients, four were treated with percutaneous mechanical circulatory support.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsCompared with thyroid storm patients who did not require percutaneous mechanical circulatory support, those who did had a significantly higher initial plasma brain natriuretic peptide level (1,231 [911-3,387] vs 447 pg/mL [243-653 pg/mL], respectively;
conclusionsIn thyroid storm patients, the presence of a high brain natriuretic peptide level, "left ventricular dilatation," or both may necessitate hemodynamic assessment to determine the indication of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support before beta-blocker administration.
