Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy After Cardiac Surgery: A Hidden Menace.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTakotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is an episode of transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction affecting 2.1% of patients with suspected acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. CASE SUMMARY: A 61-year-old woman underwent elective aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation. An entry tear at the aortic cannulation site necessitated hemiarch replacement. On postoperative day 3, the patient presented with cardiogenic shock, displaying deteriorating LV function with global hypokinesia. Coronary angiography revealed minimal coronary artery disease, whereas computed tomography revealed LV apical ballooning. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support was initiated. Echocardiography and computed tomography showed normalization of LV function and resolution of apical ballooning 2 weeks later, permitting extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning. The patient was discharged in good health 1 month postoperatively. DISCUSSION: Cardiac surgery complicated by TTC is rarely described. This case highlights prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time and surgical stress as potential TTC triggers. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Clinicians should be mindful of TTC risk after cardiac surgery.
