Under-diagnosis of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Increases Risk of Adverse Events: A Case Study.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 (TC), or broken-heart syndrome, is characterized by high levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline leading to coronary artery vasospasm. Often presenting similarly to myocardial infarction (MI), Takotsubo is under-diagnosed in the population, typically leading to management under MI guidelines. An 80-year-old woman presented with chest pain and electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) changes but on further investigations, it emerged that the underlying pathology was not consistent with MI. Here, we highlight the importance of considering alternative diagnoses even with an initially seemingly clear-cut picture of MI. Due to the nature of the pathology, management of Takotsubo under MI protocols can lead to worsened outcomes. It is therefore of importance to increasingly consider TC as a diagnosis in cases of unclear MI.
