A Combination of Beta-Blockade and Calcium Channel Blockade Leading to Bradycardia, Renal Failure, Atrioventricular Blockade, Shock, and Hyperkalemia (BRASH) Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The BRASH syndrome is a recently recognized syndrome and the acronym stands for bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia. We discuss a case of a 56-year-old female with a history of heart failure who presented in a critical state following recent adjustments to her carvedilol dosage while she was simultaneously on verapamil. This combination of AV nodal-blocking agents induced bradycardia in the patient, leading to shock and renal hypoperfusion complicated by hyperkalemia that required the use of a temporary transvenous pacemaker before she made a full recovery. The case report highlights the fact that this combination of medications alone may have had a synergistic effect that led to BRASH in our patient.
