Thyrotoxicosis Periodic Paralysis: A Rare Presentation of a Common Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report a 31-year-old man of an Arabic ethnicity who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with a one-night history of progressive generalized weakness followed by an inability to move all four limbs. The patient was found to have hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia. Detailed inpatient assessment revealed that the patient had undiagnosed Graves' disease with thyrotoxicosis causing electrolyte disturbances and paralysis. The patient's symptoms resolved after the correction of the electrolytes. In this case study, we report an unusual presenting symptom of paralysis of Graves' disease in a patient of Arabic ethnicity.
