Acute Heart Failure as a First Manifestation of Primary Adrenal Insufficiency: Highly Lethal If Not Diagnosed!
Article in Case reports in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Primary adrenal insufficiency is an uncommon condition that manifests as nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, salt craving, and hyperpigmentation. Common cardiovascular presentations of AI are hypotension, arrhythmias, and syncope. However, acute heart failure is an uncommon presentation. Conclusion: AI should be considered among patients with cardiogenic shock who are unresponsive to conventional inotropes. Additionally, a history of autoimmune diseases may increase the suspicion of AI. Although the presentation of cardiogenic shock in a patient with undiagnosed AI is considered a rarity, delay in prompt treatment can lead to life-threatening conditions.
