Thyroid Storm With Myocardial Injury Mimicking Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
Thyroid storm presents a fatal medical emergency that develops when thyrotoxicosis advances to its most critical stage. A 50-year-old male patient with no known thyroid problems presented to the hospital complaining of several episodes of diarrhea, tachycardia, and chest pain with ECG changes suggestive of ischemia. Laboratory tests confirmed thyrotoxicosis with a low level of thyroid-stimulating hormone, while free T4 and T3 levels were significantly elevated. Further workup revealed Graves' disease (positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody results and elevated radioactive iodine uptake). The patient received intensive treatment in the ICU, including beta-blockade therapy, anti-thyroid medications, iodine solution, corticosteroids, and supportive medical care. Despite initial concerns for acute coronary syndrome due to troponin elevation and ST depressions, coronary angiography showed no obstructive disease. This indicates a type II myocardial infarction from supply-demand mismatch. The patient underwent radioactive iodine ablation as a final treatment after achieving stability. This case highlights that thyroid storm encompasses symptoms that mimic acute cardiac crisis, thus underscoring the importance of prompt recognition and treatment of thyrotoxicosis to prevent severe cardiovascular sequelae.
