Broken heart after heart attack- post-MI Takotsubo syndrome: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 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
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a common differential for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and although its coexistence is considered rare, it may be more common than previously believed. Diagnosing TCM after an AMI is particularly challenging, as initial imaging typically supports AMI. We report the case of a 61-year-old male who presented with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and underwent successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the left anterior descending artery. Initial echocardiography demonstrated preserved apical function; however, the patient was readmitted with chest pain, diaphoresis, and dyspnea. Suspecting stent thrombosis, repeat coronary angiography confirmed patent stents, but echocardiography revealed severe left ventricular dysfunction with apical ballooning, consistent with TCM. This case underscores the importance of considering TCM as a possible concomitant or subsequent condition in patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
