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

This report presents the case of a 54-year-old female with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy that recurred 12 years after the first episode. The coronary angiography at the first admission revealed ergonovine-induced coronary vasoconstriction in the left coronary artery, and recurrence recurred after the interruption of vasodilator therapy to prevent vasospasm. In addition, the coronary angiography both in the first and second event demonstrated coronary slow flow phenomenon, which improved after the intracoronary administration of nicorandil. These findings indicate that coronary microvascular constriction plays an important role in the pathophysiology of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
