Takotsubo Syndrome Presenting as ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction With Concomitant Persistent High-Grade AV Block Requiring Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Pacemaker.

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 (TTS), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or apical ballooning syndrome, is increasingly recognised as an acute myocardial ischemic syndrome primarily involving transient microvascular dysfunction rather than epicardial coronary occlusion and characterised by transient left ventricular dysfunction. Patients are predominantly postmenopausal women and may clinically mimic acute coronary syndrome, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as well as non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). While TTS may coexist with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), the hallmark feature is a mismatch between the severity of wall motion abnormalities and the distribution of any coronary lesions. We present a postmenopausal lady who presented as a presumed STEMI but was eventually diagnosed to have takotsubo cardiomyopathy. She developed a persistent high-grade AV block with poor ejection fraction and was subsequently implanted with a cardiac resynchronisation therapy pacemaker (CRT-P).
