A case of unexpected thyroid storm in postpartum.

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
Thyroid storm is a rare and serious endocrine crisis during the perinatal period and typically occurs in patients with Graves' disease. We present the case of a postpartum woman without prior history of thyroid disease who presented with vomiting, fever, irregular abdominal pain, and a diagnosis of intrauterine death. Despite comprehensive treatment, she showed persistent tachycardia, fever, and multi-organ failure. Diagnostic assessment revealed elevated thyroid hormone levels, and she was diagnosed with thyroid storm based on the scoring system of Burch-Wartofsky and the Japanese Thyroid Association diagnostic criteria. Treatment included plasmapheresis, β-blockers, iodine solutions, antithyroid drugs, and corticosteroids. Following successful mitigation of thyroid storm, she developed hypothyroidism and was treated with levothyroxine. For patients with no history of thyroid disease or negative thyroid autoantibodies, especially postpartum women, presenting unexplained symptoms such as tachycardia, fever, diarrhea, sweating, and altered consciousness, the possibility of thyroid storm should be considered.
