1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The development of cardiogenic shock due to the coexistence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and thyroid crisis in patients has been scarcely reported. Case summary: A 46-year-old female presented with chest pain, palpitations, nausea, and vomiting for 8 h. She was initially considered to have acute myocardial infarction due to elevated cardiac markers and abnormal electrocardiogram changes. Immediately after the coronary angiography revealed a normal coronary artery, the patient developed refractory cardiogenic shock. Echocardiography demonstrated a typical apical ballooning type of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 32%. A combination of norepinephrine and dopamine and an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was used to support haemodynamic stability but failed to improve the patient's condition. Immediately after the laboratory tests revealed previously unknown hyperthyroidism on the second hospital day, a rapid atrial fibrillation (AF) suddenly occurred. Nifekalant successfully restored sinus rhythm in a short time. The patient persistently complained of chest tightness, palpitations, and sweating for the first 4 days until levosimendan and antithyroid crisis treatment were used. Discussion: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and thyroid crisis can co-occur and present as cardiogenic shock. In the presence of severe cardiac dysfunction and untreated hyperthyroidism, nifekalant is an ideal option for the new onset of AF. The combination of heart failure treatment and antithyroid crisis drugs can effectively restore cardiac function and is associated with good clinical outcomes.
