Aconitine poisoning presenting as atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular rate: A case report.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 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
Aconitine is a diterpenoid diester alkaloid primarily found in traditional Chinese herbs. It is rapidly absorbed through the upper gastrointestinal tract and exhibits some beneficial effects. However, due to its toxicity, improper use of aconitine can easily lead to poisoning, primarily characterized by cardiovascular and neurological toxicity. Most cases of aconitine poisoning involve multiple types of arrhythmias, with rapid ventricular arrhythmias being the most common. However, it can also result in bradyarrhythmias. We report a case of aconitine poisoning manifesting as atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular rate and an ST-segment resembling a fishhook pattern on the electrocardiogram, detailing its clinical presentation and treatment approach. This case report highlights the importance of healthcare professionals thoroughly reviewing patients' medical history and medication use to identify and address adverse drug reactions. Learning objectives: 1.Recognize that aconitine poisoning, while commonly presenting with rapid ventricular arrhythmias, can also manifest as bradyarrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response.2.Identify the potential electrocardiographic finding of a fishhook-shaped ST-segment as a clue in suspected aconitine toxicity.3.Emphasize the critical importance of a thorough review of a patient's medication history and use of traditional herbs in the evaluation of unexplained arrhythmias.
