Atrial Fibrillation in a Young Healthy Adult: A Case Report From Anaphylaxis to Arrhythmia.
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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is rare in young adults without underlying cardiac pathology. We present a 33-year-old previously healthy male who developed new-onset AF with rapid ventricular response (RVR) after receiving epinephrine for a bee sting-associated allergic reaction. The arrhythmia occurred within five minutes of intramuscular epinephrine administration and resolved following rate control with intravenous diltiazem. Cardiac workup, including echocardiography and thyroid function tests, was unremarkable. He remained in sinus rhythm during telemetry monitoring and was discharged with outpatient follow-up. This case highlights the potential for transient AF in the setting of allergic reactions and raises diagnostic and therapeutic questions regarding the role of venom-induced autonomic effects versus sympathomimetic drug administration.
