Takotsubo cardiomyopathy misdiagnosed as acute myocardial infarction under the Chest Pain Center model: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWith the spread and establishment of the Chest Pain Center in China, adhering to the idea that "time is myocardial cell and time is life", many hospitals have set up a standardized process that ensures that patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who meet emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guidelines are sent directly to the DSA room by the prehospital emergency doctor, saving the time spent on queuing, registration, payment, re-examination by the emergency doctor, and obtaining consent for surgery after arriving at the hospital. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an acute disease that is triggered by intense emotional or physical stress and must be promptly differentiated from AMI for its appropriate management. CASE SUMMARY: A 52-year-old female patient was taken directly to the catheterization room to perform PCI due to 4 h of continuous thoracalgia and elevation of the ST segment in the V3-V5 lead, without being transferred to the emergency department according to the Chest Pain Center model. Loading doses of aspirin, clopidogrel and statins were administered and informed consent for PCI was signed in the ambulance. On first look, the patient looked nervous in the DSA room. Coronary angiography showed no obvious stenosis. Left ventricular angiography showed that the contraction of the left ventricular apex was weakened, and the systolic period was ballooning out, showing a typical "octopus trap" change. The patient was diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Five days later, the patient had no symptoms of thoracalgia, and the serological indicators returned to normal. She was discharged with a prescription of medication.
conclusionUnder the Chest Pain Center model for the treatment of patients with chest pain showing ST segment elevation, despite the urgency of time, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy must be promptly differentiated from AMI for its appropriate management.
