Successful Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock Due to Cardiac Rupture by Transient Focal Mid-Ventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundTransient focal mid-ventricular Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) complicated by cardiogenic shock due to cardiac rupture has not been documented to our knowledge. CASE SUMMARY: A 76-year-old man was airlifted by helicopter emergency medical services. On admission, cardiogenic shock secondary to cardiac tamponade was diagnosed. Emergency pericardial fenestration was performed. Left ventricular angiography revealed severe dyskinesis in the mid-ventricular segment and hyperkinesis in both the basal and the apical regions. These findings initially raised suspicion for cardiac rupture secondary to a ventricular aneurysm. Repeat left ventricular angiography on day 4 showed complete resolution of wall motion abnormalities. A diagnosis of transient mid-ventricular stress cardiomyopathy complicated by cardiac rupture was made at that time. Surgical repair was performed. The patient was discharged home 56 days after admission. DISCUSSION: Partial or focal forms of TTS can mimic ventricular aneurysm, complicating diagnosis. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: TTS should be considered a potential cause of cardiac rupture and included in the differential diagnosis by cardiologists.
