The presence of atrial fibrillation in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is predictive of mortality: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2019.

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
introductionAtrial fibrillation (AF) is known as the most common arrhythmia and an independent risk factor for mortality. Recent studies suggest that AF is associated with morbidity and mortality in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). However, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature have not been done. We assessed the association between AF in patients with TTC and mortality by a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis.
methodsWe comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to January 2018. Included studies were published prospective or retrospective cohort studies that compared all-cause mortality in TTC with AF versus without AF. Data from each study were combined using the random-effects, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird to calculate risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
resultsFive studies from August 2008 to October 2017 were included in this meta-analysis involving 2,321 subjects with TTC (243 with AF and 2,078 without AF). The presence of AF was associated with all-cause mortality (pooled odds ratio = 2.19, 95% confidence interval: 1.57-3.06, p < 0.001, I
conclusionAtrial fibrillation increased all-cause mortality by double among patients with TTC compared to without it. Our study suggests that the presence of AF in TTC is prognostic for all-cause mortality.
