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

Myocardial infarction (MI) and Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) are rare causes of chest pain in young female patients. A 36-year-old woman presented with acute chest pain that started after an extreme cough. The electrocardiogram revealed inferior ST-segment elevations, but bedside echocardiography showed apical ballooning indicative of TTS. Invasive angiography appeared normal. However, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the coexistence of an inferolateral transmural MI and TTS. Re-analysis of the angiogram raised suspicion for spontaneous coronary artery dissection of the second obtuse marginal branch. This challenging case demonstrates a peculiar combination of events with spontaneous coronary artery dissection causing an ST-segment elevation MI and consecutive TTS and the diagnosis of bystander patent foramen ovale.
