Takotsubo Syndrome Following Status Epilepticus in a Heart Transplant Recipient: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionTakotsubo syndrome (TTS) expresses transient wall motion abnormality of the left ventricle, reportedly induced by sympathetic overstimulation. Takotsubo syndrome is unlikely to be included in the differential diagnosis of heart transplant patients with sudden cardiac dysfunction given the complete denervation occurring during the transplantation. CASE REPORT: In this case report we describe the case of a female heart transplant recipient who showed apical ballooning on an echocardiogram following status epilepticus. Detailed clinical examinations and her clinical course confirmed the diagnosis of TTS. An iodine-123 meta iodobenzylguanidine myocardial scintigraphy revealed partial cardiac sympathetic reinnervation in the transplanted heart.
conclusionThis case demonstrates that TTS can manifest itself even in a transplanted heart with partial sympathetic reinnervation.
