Recurrent biventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy with fatal outcome.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A woman in her 60s presented initially with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. She rapidly progressed to respiratory failure requiring intubation. ECG demonstrated no significant ST segment changes. Troponin I and brain natriuretic peptide were elevated. Chest CT angiography demonstrated small non-occlusive segmental pulmonary emboli. Transthoracic echocardiogram findings suggested biventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) with left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 20%. She improved with aggressive management and was discharged on carvedilol, lisinopril, atorvastatin and apixaban. Follow-up echocardiogram revealed complete resolution of the left and right ventricular wall motion abnormalities at 9 weeks. She had symptoms recurrence after 7 months from the initial presentation. Repeated echocardiogram was consistent with biventricular TCM recurrence. Despite aggressive medical therapy, multiorgan failure developed and patient care was later transitioned to palliative care.
