Takotsubo Syndrome after Pacemaker Implantation: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute cardiac condition characterized by a temporary wall motion abnormality of the left ventricle that mimics an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). TTS usually occurs following emotional or physical triggering event. More recently, sporadic cases of TTS arising after pacemaker implantation were reported. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the available literature to provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge about pacemaker implantation-induced TTS. Results: The articles selected included case reports and one registry on 28 patients. Most cases occurred in women (75%), encompassing a broad age range. The mean age of the cases described was 74 years. Full recovery of cardiac function was reported in most cases (92.3%), with largely varying recovery times, on average 7 weeks. The most common comorbidity was arterial hypertension and the average ejection fraction at admission was approximately 62%. Clinical severity ranges from asymptomatic cases to severe clinical heart failure syndrome. Altogether the case fatality rate was 3.6%. Conclusions: For rare it might be, awareness about the potential to develop TTS after pacemaker implantation should prompt careful clinical monitoring, with daily electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring and at least one echocardiographic examination prior to patients' discharge to allow early diagnosis and minimize the clinical risk.
