Tongkat Ali-Induced Atrial Flutter: A Probable Case.
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
We present the case of a 71-year-old gentleman who developed new-onset atrial flutter following the initiation of Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) supplementation. He presented with a four-day history of palpitations and dizziness. Initial workup revealed normal laboratory values, including thyroid function and electrolytes. An electrocardiogram showed supraventricular tachycardia with a heart rate of 130 bpm, which, after adenosine administration, a clear atrial flutter. Secondary causes for atrial flutter were ruled out. Given the temporal association and the absence of other predisposing factors, his atrial flutter is presumed to be Tongkat Ali-induced, representing the first documented case in the literature. This case highlights the importance of considering herbal supplements as potential triggers for cardiac arrhythmias and underscores the need for increased awareness and further research into their cardiovascular safety profiles.
