An Emotional Stress as a Trigger for Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in The American journal of case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundReverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is one of the rarest types of stress-induced cardiomyopathy, which despite sharing similar pathogenic mechanisms with its more common counterpart, has different clinical manifestations, demographics, and laboratory values. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 61-year-old woman who came to the hospital with a chief complaint of chest pain and dyspnea. She was found to have elevated troponin and severely depressed left ventricular function. Echocardiography showed normal contracting apex, with the rest of the left ventricle being hypokinetic. Cardiac catheterization revealed mild coronary artery disease and confirmed echocardiographic findings showing hyperkinetic apex and dilated base. She was discharged home on ACE inhibitor and B-blocker. A repeat echocardiogram 2 weeks after the initial presentation showed complete resolution of cardiac dysfunction.
conclusionsReverse Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare disease mimicking acute coronary syndrome. It is essential to rule out organic coronary disease prior to attributing the presentation to Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. With supportive care, the long-term prognosis is good in the vast majority of patients.
