Cardiac Beriberi After Gastrectomy Presenting With Peripheral Neuropathy and Mimicking Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy: 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
Cardiac beriberi, a manifestation of thiamine deficiency, is an uncommon but reversible cause of heart failure that can mimic other forms of cardiomyopathy, such as dilated or tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathies. It is likely underrecognized or misdiagnosed. We report an elderly man with neurological symptoms and globally reduced left ventricular (LV) function in the context of prior gastrectomy, chronic alcohol consumption, and prolonged malnutrition. Early empiric thiamine administration led to rapid improvement in pulse rate, left ventricular function, and neurological symptoms, and the diagnosis was confirmed by a low thiamine level. This case underscores the importance of considering cardiac beriberi in the differential diagnosis of newly diagnosed heart failure, particularly in patients with nutritional risk factors or a history of gastrointestinal surgery. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to preventing adverse outcomes.
