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

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a rare entity defined by a temporary, reversible left ventricular systolic abnormality similar to myocardial infarction in the absence of coronary artery disease. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) can result from a marked decrease or sudden cessation of alcohol consumption and seems to be related to excess catecholamines that induce a cardiomyotoxic effect. Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), mostly associated with alcoholism, is caused by a deficiency in vitamin B1 (thiamine) and is severe if not supplemented in a timely manner. We present a complex case of a patient with the simultaneous presentation of two rare conditions, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and Wernicke's encephalopathy, precipitated by an alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
