A PET/CT-follow-up imaging study to differentiate takotsubo cardiomyopathy from acute myocardial infarction.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is still an under-recognized disease and little data exists on the coexistence of TTC and obstructive coronary artery disease. Our patient case of an 80-year-old female lady highlights the impact of a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) follow-up imaging study to delineate this unique entity from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Furthermore, we show for the first time that coronary flow reserve and myocardial blood flow is globally impaired in TTC and not only restricted to the non-contracting parts. This indicates a global microcirculatory impairment effect of the heart in the acute stage of TTC. Our case also demonstrates that a transient metabolic defect is also involved in this disease. Follow-up imaging by PET/CT in our patient case unmasked TTC and facilitated to exclude the differential diagnosis of ACS.
