1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 is characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning, which results in temporary left ventricular dysfunction. We present a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. Her electrocardiogram was suggestive of myocardial ischemia and her troponin levels were elevated. Cardiac catheterization showed mild coronary artery disease and left ventriculography revealed severe apical hypokinesia. A diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was made. Her hospital stay was complicated by cardiogenic shock. One of the risk factors was cannabis use. Hence, our case highlights the management of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and its complications, along with focus on cannabis use and its association with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
