A Case of Acute Liver Failure Secondary to Thyrotoxicosis.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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 is a rare, life-threatening endocrine emergency that can cause multiorgan dysfunction, although acute liver failure (ALF) remains an uncommon manifestation. A 52-year-old woman with Graves' disease who had discontinued methimazole presented with three days of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, melena, generalized weakness, and chest pain. She was lethargic and tachycardic, with a diffusely enlarged thyroid gland, warm skin, bilateral hand tremors, and hypoglycemia. Laboratory testing demonstrated severe thyrotoxicosis, marked hepatocellular injury with an aspartate aminotransferase concentration of 1,059 units per liter (U/L) and an alanine aminotransferase concentration of 955 U/L, and an international normalized ratio of 7.8. Echocardiography showed a left ventricular ejection fraction of 25%-30%, while coronary angiography was normal, and evaluation for viral, autoimmune, and structural hepatobiliary disease was unrevealing. Treatment with hydrocortisone, propranolol, and methimazole resulted in clinical improvement and substantial biochemical recovery, with normalization of the hepatic and thyroid biochemical parameters at two-month follow-up. This case emphasizes the importance of considering thyroid storm in patients with ALF and promptly evaluating both thyroid-mediated and hemodynamic contributors to hepatic injury.
