[Inverted Takotsubo Syndrome due to Severe Scorpion Envenomation: Report of one Case].
Article in Medecine tropicale et sante internationale, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Scorpion envenomation (SE) is common in tropical and subtropical regions. Cardio-respiratory manifestations, mainly cardiogenic shock and pulmonary oedema are the leading causes of death after scorpion envenomation. Cardiac failure can be due to massive release of catecholamines, myocardial damage induced by the venom or myocardial ischemia. Although it has been exceptionally reported, Takotsubo syndrome during SE can help to better elucidate the pathophysiology of this cardiomyopathy. We report a case of inverted Takotsubo following a SE in a 26-year-old patient admitted to the Intensive care unit department for severe scorpion envenomation. His evolution was favorable. We concluded that cardiac involvement in this case fulfills all clinical and paraclinical criteria of Takotsubo syndrome emphasizing the importance of catecholaminergic discharge during scorpion envenomation. We discuss again the management of this syndrome in this specific condition.
