Can aldosterone break your heart? Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with newly diagnosed primary aldosteronism.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. 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
We report a case of a 47-year-old Caucasian woman with medical history of hypertension and hypokalemia, who presented to Emergency Room with symptoms resembling acute coronary syndrome ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiogram revealed clear coronary arteries and left ventriculogram confirmed the diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. She was treated conservatively with good clinical outcome. Subsequent testing revealed underlying primary aldosteronism.
