Excess of high-caffeinated energy drinks causing ventricular arrhythmias.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A young male patient had palpitations after consumption of few high caffeinated energy drinks which he took after his office hours to relieve fatigue. He immediately seeked medical help. Electrocardiogram showed multiple runs of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and ventricular bigeminy and trigeminy. Echocardiography was normal. The patient was admitted to intensive care unit and treated with anti-arrhythmic drugs to which the arrhythmias responded and subsided. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of heart did not reveal any structural heart abnormality and treadmill stress test was negative ruling out significant coronary artery disease. High caffeinated energy drinks can produce serious ventricular arrhythmias if taken beyond safe doses. These ventricular arrhythmias are known to be causative factor for sudden cardiac arrest and therefore a caution & regulation is needed in widespread unrestricted used of these drinks.
