Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy: A case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Hypocalcemia and its related symptoms are common manifestations in postsurgical hypoparathyroidism, but patients with hypocalcemia manifested as heart failure is rare and few cases are reported in the literature. Here we reported a 58-year-old female with hypoparathyroidism and uncontrolled hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy, presented with acute heart failure, accompanied with enlargement and reduced ejection fraction of left ventricle. She was refractory to guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure including digitalis and diuretics. However, her symptoms resolved and cardiac function improved dramatically after normalization of serum calcium level. This rare case highlights the pivotal role of calcium in maintaining cardiac function and the importance of treating underlying reversible causes of heart failure. For patients with hypoparathyroidism, it is essential to get standard treatment to avoid development of heart failure and hypocalcemia related syndromes.
