A case of reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy caused by an eating disorder.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acquired transient cardiomyopathy that causes severe systolic dysfunction in the absence of coronary disease. Here we present a case of reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy. A 67-year-old female was admitted for weakness and falls due to severe malnutrition. During her stay she was diagnosed with an eating disorder. She also developed chest pain during her hospitalization and was taken urgently for catheterization which showed normal coronary arteries with akinetic basal and inferior walls and hyperkinesis of the apex. Her ejection fraction decreased to 25% from 60% five days previously. She was diagnosed with reverse takotsubo. She was placed on an appropriate heart failure regimen and eventually transferred to inpatient rehabilitation. In its typical form, takotsubo causes apical ballooning due to hyperkinetic basal and inferior wall motion and apical hypokinesis. Reverse takotsubo causes a depressed basal segment with apical hyperkinesis usually brought on by severe emotional or physical stress. Our case is the first documented report of an eating disorder causing the reverse type of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. <
