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

Background There is very scarce data about the shifting landscape of complications like venous thromboembolic events (VTE) and respiratory failure in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). We have assessed the rates and trends of these complications in (TTS)-related hospitalizations. Methods The National Inpatient Sample (2007-2014) was queried to identify adult hospitalizations for TTS and subsequent VTE and respiratory failure using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9 CM) codes. Trends were assessed using discharge weights and the linear-by-linear association test for the overall cohort and subgroups based on age, sex, and race. Results Of 156,506 admissions for TTS from 2007-2014, 3.5% (N=5,550) of admissions revealed VTE whereas 17.4% (N=27,252) of admissions revealed respiratory failure. There were significantly rising trends in VTE (from 2.2% to 4.2%) and respiratory failure (10% to 20.7%) with TTS (p<0.05) from 2007-2014. On subgroup analysis, all subgroups showed rising trends in VTE and respiratory failure. However, young (18-44 years), male patients admitted with TTS demonstrated a greater surge in VTE as compared to other groups. In contrast, the frequency of respiratory failure rose more significantly in young, male, non-white TTS patients compared to older, female and white TTS patients. Conclusion There were alarming trends in the VTE and respiratory failure despite the improved understanding of TTS etiopathogenesis and advanced diagnostic modalities among TTS-related admissions, mostly comprising of young, male, and non-white patients.
