1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 syndrome (TTS) is characterized by acute, transient systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle not attributed to coronary artery disease (CAD). HYPOTHESIS: There are differences in hospital outcomes in patients admitted with TTS based on their gender.

methodsThe National Inpatient Sample database was searched for patients admitted with a principal diagnosis of TTS from 2006 to 2014 using the ICD9-CM code 429.83. Using Pearson's χ

resultsA total of 39 662 admissions with TTS were identified, 91.7% female and 8.3% male with mean age of 66.5 and 61.6 years, respectively. The incidence of TTS increased progressively from 2006 to 2014. Female patients were more likely to have hypertension, hypothyroidism, or depression. Males were more likely to use tobacco, or have known CAD. Males had almost 4-fold higher probability of in-hospital mortality compared to females (3.7% vs 1.1%; P<0.001). Certain complications including cardiogenic shock, ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia, and acute kidney injury were more common in males.

conclusionsThere are distinct gender differences in clinical characteristics of patients admitted with TTS. Although TTS is more common in females, it is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in males.
