The Coronary Artery Changes and Complications Caused by Takotsubo Syndrome: A Review With Novel Observations.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. 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 cardiac disease entity with a clinical presentation identical to that of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The terms tsubo- or takotsubo-shaped were introduced at the beginning of the 1990s to describe the silhouette of the left ventricle during systole in patients with a clinical picture similar to myocardial infarction (MI) but with no obstructive coronary arteries. Notably, TS is not a MI and is caused by a different pathogenic mechanism. Innumerable emotional and physical stress factors have been reported to trigger TS, with ACS identified as one of the known physical trigger factors for TS. The myocardial stunning, which is the characteristic feature of left ventricular wall motion abnormality (LVWMA) in TS, was first reported in patients with ACS and also used to describe LVWMA when the term takotsubo-shaped was introduced in 1990. Cases, series of cases, and studies on that ACS may trigger TS have been reported. TS is also known to cause numerous cardiac complications, such as heart failure, pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, life-threatening arrhythmias, left ventricular outlet tract obstruction, and cardiac thromboembolic complications. In addition to MI caused by coronary thromboembolic complications, TS may also cause other changes or complications in the coronary artery system, including the intramyocardial resistance microcirculation, the intramyocardial conductance vessels as the septal branches from both the left anterior descending artery and the posterior descending artery, the coronary segments with myocardial bridging, the epicardial coronary arteries, and coronary artery-left ventricular micro-fistulae (CALVMF). This paper reviews these coronary artery complications or changes caused by TS. Notably, the transient compression of CALVMF during the acute stage of TS and reappearance during normalization of the left ventricular function represent novel observations.
