Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in siblings.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04513054 (Is There a Genetic Predisposition for Acute Stress-induced), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
We report the case of apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) in a female sibling. A 64-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with sudden-onset chest pain. Cardiac enzymes were mildly elevated and an electrocardiogram showed broad ST-T changes. Emergency coronary angiography revealed no culprit lesion and left ventriculography demonstrated focal akinesis of the apical wall, which was consistent with ABS. Myocardial functional sympathetic innervations assessed using [(123)I]metaiodobenzylguanidine was severely impaired in the apical region. Her clinical symptoms and cardiac dysfunction recovered spontaneously. Just 1 year prior to our patient's cardiac event, her elder sister had the same symptoms and was also diagnosed with ABS. Both sisters were postmenopausal. The familial case of ABS is exceedingly rare, but these cases suggest a possible genetic etiology.
