Myxedema Coma Leading to Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Myxedema coma is a rare and life-threatening medical condition. We present a case of poorly controlled hypothyroidism that initially caused myxedema coma and then led to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A 57-year-old woman with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) came in with fatigue and worsening left-sided chest pain that occurred even at rest for the past 12 hours. She has not been taking her levothyroxine as prescribed and has not been seeing her endocrinologist for follow-up. When she arrived, her vitals showed that she had a heart rate of 53 beats per minute (sinus bradycardia), but otherwise, she was stable. The laboratory tests showed elevated levels of high sensitivity troponin T at 42 ng/L (normal value: <14 ng/L), a thyroid stimulating hormone level of 408 mIU/L (normal value: 0.5-2.5 mIU/L), a free thyroxine level of 0.4 (normal range: 0.8-1.8 ng/mL), and a decreased glomerular filtration rate of 71 mL/min/1.73 m
