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

We report a rare case of takotsubo cardiomyopathy caused by subacute thyroiditis in a man in his 50s. He went to the doctor with complaints of loss of appetite, diarrhoea, chills and general malaise. He had consciousness disturbance, thyrotoxicosis and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression. Thyroglobulin and C reactive protein levels in the blood were elevated, but TSH receptor antibody, thyroid-stimulating antibody, antithyroglobulin antibody and antithyroid peroxidase antibody were not. We began treatment with prednisolone and propranolol after he was diagnosed with thyroid storm caused by subacute thyroiditis. The ECG revealed inverted T waves on the fifth day after admission. He was newly diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy on the day. A large thrombus was detected in the left ventricle, requiring anticoagulation therapy. Thus, even if there are no findings of takotsubo cardiomyopathy or thrombus at the onset of thyroid storm, appropriate monitoring is required because they can develop during the treatment course.
