Graves' Disease Associated With Pulmonary Hypertension and Cardiac Arrest.
Article in Journal of medical cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Thyrotoxicosis has been associated with several cardiac conditions including atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure due to left ventricular dysfunction, and cardiomyopathy. However, few cases of ventricular fibrillation as a complication of thyrotoxicosis have been reported. Our case described a 45-year-old male with a history of hypertension and Graves' disease, who presented with 1 week of left-sided chest pain associated with shortness of breath on exertion and occasional palpitations. His workup revealed acute diastolic congestive heart failure secondary to thyrotoxicosis, causing pulmonary hypertension, which led to ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. After being treated with methimazole and metoprolol, the patient's symptoms improved. This case underscores the significance of assertive medical interventions alongside both invasive and non-invasive cardiac procedures. Addressing thyrotoxicosis and ventricular arrhythmia in hyperthyroid patients is crucial to prevent potentially life-threatening complications.
