Treatment of Severe Thyrotoxicosis With Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in a Patient With a Methimazole Adverse Reaction.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Recent research indicates that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been successfully used in the treatment of thyrotoxicosis in patients where conventional treatment measures failed to effectively control severe thyrotoxicosis, also known as thyroid storm. We present the case of a woman in her late 70s with a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), hypertension, hyperthyroidism, and anxiety, who presented to the hospital following a hemorrhagic stroke and myocardial infarction that subsequently developed severe thyrotoxicosis following the administration of levothyroxine. During her treatment course, the patient experienced an adverse reaction to methimazole, complicating management by precluding the use of conventional treatment protocols for severe thyrotoxicosis. TPE was successfully used to stabilize the patient over the course of two plasma exchanges without the need for thyroidectomy or radio-iodine ablation of the thyroid post stabilization, and was able to be safely discharged home.
