Carbon monoxide-induced atrial fibrillation: unveiling the cardiovascular Spectrum through a case report and systematic review of reported cases.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundCarbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a public health concern with cardiovascular consequences like arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been sporadically linked to CO exposure. CASE REPORT: A 72-year-old woman presented with gait imbalance, dizziness, and headache. ECG showed new-onset AF, while echocardiography and brain imaging were unremarkable. Her husband exhibited similar symptoms, raising suspicion of CO poisoning. Carboxyhemoglobin was 2.9%. She spontaneously reverted to sinus rhythm with normobaric oxygen therapy. Systematic Review: 7 cases of CO-induced AF (ages 21-82) were reviewed. Most patients were male 4 (57%) and did not have a history of cardiovascular diseases 6 (86%). The most common symptoms were headache and nausea, each occurring in 4 (57%) cases. Rapid ventricular response was observed in 6 (86%) cases, with most reverting to sinus rhythm.
conclusionCO poisoning increases dysrhythmia risk through hypoxia-induced myocardial changes and voltage-gated channel alterations. Greater awareness is needed regarding its cardiovascular implications.
