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

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries is a working diagnosis that includes takotsubo cardiomyopathy/syndrome (TTS). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is useful for establishing the underlying aetiology of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries during the acute phase, but its role in follow-up is less well established. A 35-year-old man with several cardiac risk factors presented 3 days after his sister's death with biochemical and clinical features of acute myocardial infarction without coronary artery obstruction on angiography but with diagnostic features of TTS on CMR, including oedema but no late gadolinium enhancement. Subsequent CMR 3 months later revealed left ventricular late gadolinium enhancement suggesting previous acute myocardial infarction. Although the initial diagnosis of TTS was robust according to established criteria, it remained uncertain whether the later ischaemic injury was related to an ischaemic event at presentation or occurred in the intervening period. Nevertheless, CMR may have an extended role in the follow-up of these patients and may reveal additional, actionable pathology.
