Transient Global Amnesia Following Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography.
Article in Cureus, 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
Transient global amnesia is an uncommon neurological phenomenon characterized by sudden-onset anterograde amnesia, often accompanied by repetitive questioning and transient cognitive dysfunction, which resolves completely within 24 hours. While self-limiting, this can cause significant distress to both patients and their families, particularly when it arises in the context of medical interventions. Dobutamine stress echocardiography, a widely employed non-invasive diagnostic modality for assessing myocardial ischemia, valvular pathology, and left ventricular function, is generally regarded as safe and well-tolerated. There are only a few cases of transient global amnesia after dobutamine stress echocardiography. Our case report may align with the current belief that the adrenergic and hemodynamic stress induced by dobutamine stress echocardiography can occasionally elicit transient global amnesia in predisposed patients, challenging its reputation as a low-risk diagnostic procedure.
