A Case of Elevated Troponin I Level After Packed Red Blood Cell Transfusion With Normal Coronary Angiography.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Other than acute coronary syndrome (ACS), many clinical conditions are associated with increased cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels. Conditions such as pulmonary embolism, acute heart failure, myocarditis, sepsis, and renal failure are commonly reported as underlying causes. Analytical interference with the cTnI assay can also lead to falsely elevated troponin I levels. That can happen due to multiple causes such as fibrin clots, heterophile antibodies, microparticles contained in the sample, rheumatoid factor, interference by bilirubin, hemolysis, and elevated alkaline phosphatase activity. Herein, we present the case of a 66-year-old female who presented with pleuritic chest pain and had a cTnI of 35.5 ng/mL post-transfusion of three units of packed red blood cells. The patient had a complete ischemic workup for ACS, including coronary angiography, which was negative for coronary artery disease.
