Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the intensive care unit.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
aimsAn angiographic examination is necessary for the diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). However, in the intensive care unit (ICU), intensivists often see patients in whom TTC cannot be diagnosed because they cannot undertake angiography due to the patient's poor general condition. We defined such cases as clinical TTC (cTTC) and investigated the incidence and background of cTTC in the ICU at Kansai Medical University Hospital (Osaka, Japan).
methodsThe study involved 5,084 patients who were admitted to the ICU of Kansai Medical University Hospital between January 2013 and December 2017. We retrospectively investigated the frequency and background of TTC and cTTC.
resultsOf the 5,084 patients, 5 (0.09%) patients admitted to the ICU were diagnosed as having TTC and 19 patients (0.37%) were diagnosed as having cTTC. The most common primary disease among the evaluated patients was sepsis (
conclusionOur study suggests that patients with sepsis or SAH are complicated with cTTC in the ICU. In addition, there might be no correlation between the severity of sepsis and the development of TTC.
