Sinus Node Dysfunction in Takotsubo Syndrome: An Uncommon Presentation.
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
backgroundStress cardiomyopathy is an acute, usually reversible left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction often triggered by emotional or physical stress. Conduction system complications are uncommon. CASE SUMMARY: A 68-year-old patient presented with acute pulmonary edema, reduced LV ejection fraction, and troponin elevation. Coronary angiography excluded obstructive coronary artery disease, and cardiac magnetic resonance confirmed stress cardiomyopathy. During hospitalization, the patient developed sinus node dysfunction (SND). Despite complete recovery of LV systolic function, the conduction abnormality persisted, requiring permanent pacemaker implantation. DISCUSSION: Arrhythmias occur in up to one-quarter of patients with stress cardiomyopathy, most commonly atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias, whereas persistent SND is rare. This case highlights that recovery of ventricular systolic function does not necessarily indicate recovery of conduction abnormalities and underscores the need for careful rhythm monitoring and individualized pacing decisions. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Persistent SND may complicate stress cardiomyopathy and may require permanent pacemaker implantation.
