Case report: A case of hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy with non-reversible cardiac fibrosis.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy is a rare etiology of heart failure. It is considered highly reversible with a relatively favorable prognosis. This case reports a 52-year-old housewife diagnosed with hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy who presented with acute decompensated heart failure and hypocalcemia symptoms with a history of thyroidectomy. Shortness of breath and edema were relieved after diuresis and prompt electrolyte correction. The left ventricular ejection fraction increased from 27% to 53%, and the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension shortened from 58 to 50 mm in echocardiographic re-examinations, while repeat cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed evidence of non-reversible cardiac fibrosis after 1-year follow-up. Cardioprotective agents with close follow-ups were called for in this entity of patients.
