Incidental cerebral aneurysm after takotsubo cardiomyopathy: A case report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. 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
Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is an acute heart disease that mimics the typical features of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). TS is generally reported after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured aneurysm, and has an incidence rate of 0.8 (17%). Here, we report a rare case of TS with unruptured intracranial aneurism. A 54-year-old woman had a history of systemic arterial hypertension and migraine. She went to a secondary hospital 2 h after sudden-onset chest pain, which irradiated to the left upper limb and back. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal but showed a troponin curve, which led us to suspect acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Serial ECG showed dynamic changes in ST-segment elevation in DIII, AvF, V5, and V6. Emergency cardiac catheterisation was performed and did not show any obstructive lesions. However, ventriculography revealed hypokinesia of the inferoapical wall. During hospitalization, the patient had a severe refractory headache. Computed tomography (CT) and CT angiography were performed, which identified "mirror" saccular aneurysms. A supraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysm was embolized with two stents. The patient's condition progressed satisfactorily. The association between takotsubo syndrome and aneurysmal SAH with some populations has already been reported. Due to this prior knowledge, and severe headache, it was necessary to perform screening for SAH and the discovery of an unruptured aneurysm in this case report. The present case report differs from most reported cases of takotsubo syndrome described in the literature because it presents unruptured mirror aneurysms, while most cases are diagnosed after intracranial hemorrhage.
