Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy with heart failure: A rare Case report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Hypocalcemia is one of the rarest causes of reversible cardiomyopathy. Patients with refractory heart failure need to be explored for hypocalcemia and need prompt correction. Abstract: Hypocalcemia is a rare cause of reversible dilated cardiomyopathy. Correction of calcium is crucial to recover left ventricular function and structure. We presented the case of a 55-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital with refractory heart failure due to hypocalcemia induced by primary hypoparathyroidism and complicated by vitamin D deficiency. The patient's cardiac symptoms improved dramatically upon correction of hypocalcemia, and vitamin D. Therefore, the key clinical message of this case report is, that hypocalcemia, although rare, should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses when heart failure is refractory and early diagnosis and treatment is necessary as it is the cause of reversible cardiomyopathy and could reduce morbidity and mortality.
