Thyroid Dysfunction in Advanced Heart Failure Patients and Its Correlation with Amiodarone Therapy: A Two-Year Study.
Article in Biomedicines, 2024. 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
(1) Background: Advanced heart failure often accompanies ventricular arrhythmias, necessitating antiarrhythmic therapies. Amiodarone, commonly used for this purpose, may induce thyroid dysfunction due to its high iodine content. However, the prevalence and correlation of thyroid dysfunction with amiodarone in end-stage heart failure patients remain unclear. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and types of thyroid dysfunction and their association with amiodarone among 200 patients diagnosed with advanced heart failure eligible for transplantation. (2) Methods: Consecutively enrolled patients received treatment following the European Society of Cardiology guidelines and were followed-up for two years. Ventricular arrhythmias affected 58.5% of the cohort, with 24.5% receiving amiodarone therapy. (3) Results: Thyroid metabolism dysfunction was evident in 61 patients, notably overrepresented in women (
