Exertional heat stroke with multiorgan dysfunction in a community sports event: case report and one-month follow-up.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 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
backgroundExertional heat stroke (EHS) is a life-threatening emergency characterized by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction with hyperthermia and frequent multiorgan injury. Although outcomes have improved with rapid on-site cooling in elite sports and military contexts, data from community sporting events in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remain scarce. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 30-year-old previously healthy Vietnamese male who collapsed during a 5-km community run. He presented with encephalopathy, generalized seizure, metabolic acidosis, acute kidney injury (AKI) (creatinine 149 µmol/L, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 53), rhabdomyolysis (creatine kinase (CK) 3745 U/L), and myocardial injury (high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-troponin I) peak 3.87 ng/mL). The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed incomplete right bundle branch block with minor ectopy, while echocardiography revealed preserved systolic function. With rapid cooling and supportive care, renal, muscular, and cardiac abnormalities resolved. At one-month follow-up, hs-troponin I and CK had normalized (0.0016 ng/mL; 155 U/L), creatinine was 81 µmol/L, and ECG was normal, confirming full clinical recovery.
conclusionThis case illustrates EHS with multiorgan dysfunction successfully managed at a community sporting event in Vietnam. The comprehensive one-month biomarker and cardiac follow-up highlights the potential for full recovery, while emphasizing the need for cost-effective emergency preparedness-including trained staff and rapid cooling strategies-in LMIC community events.
