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

Reverse takotsubo cardiomyopathy (rTTC) is a less frequent variant of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) with several differences about epidemiology and clinical aspects. While left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is relatively frequent in TTC patients, this complication has not been reported in the setting of rTTC yet. We describe the case of a female patient with rTTC complicated by LVOT obstruction and systolic anterior motion of mitral valve: the onset of these findings coincided with the regression of wall motion abnormalities. This dangerous "relay race" seems to be not casual but related to the characteristics of rTTC and should be always expected and prevented. <
