Importance of temporal changes in myocardial strain in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Strain imaging is a sensitive marker of myocardial dysfunction and may be underused in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC). We present a case of biventricular TC in which early improvement in left ventricular longitudinal strain predated subsequent improvement in ejection fraction. Early temporal patterns of strain of the left and right ventricles have not previously been described in TC. Our case illustrates how strain can be a sensitive marker for myocardial dysfunction and recovery in TC. Increased use of strain in TC may have further implications on prognosis and management.
