Successful Use of Calcium Chloride in Acute Calcium Channel Blocker Overdose With Shock: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are widely used to treat hypertension and tachyarrhythmias. However, an overdose can lead to severe toxicity, resulting in bradycardia, hypotension, and shock. Standard treatments, including calcium gluconate and catecholamines, may be ineffective in severe cases. This study reports a 60-year-old female with hypotensive shock following an intentional overdose of amlodipine. Despite the initial treatment with calcium gluconate, glucagon, and catecholamines, hemodynamic instability persisted. However, the intravenous administration of calcium chloride resulted in rapid hemodynamic improvement, allowing eventual recovery. This case highlights the potential of calcium chloride as a first-line antidote for severe CCBs overdose refractory to conventional treatments.
