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

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as stress cardiomyopathy, occurs in the setting of catecholamine surge from an acute stressor. This cardiomyopathy mimics acute myocardial infarction in the absence of coronary disease. The classic feature of TCM is regional wall motion abnormalities with characteristic ballooning of the left ventricle. The etiology of the stressor is often physical or emotional stress, however iatrogenic causes of TCM have been reported in the literature. In our review, we discuss medications, primarily the exogenous administration of catecholamines, and a wide array of procedures with subsequent development of iatrogenic cardiomyopathy. TCM is unique in that it is transient and has favorable outcomes in most individuals. Classically, beta-blockers and ACE-inhibitors have been prescribed in individuals with cardiomyopathy; however, unique to TCM, no specific treatment is required other than temporary supportive measures as this process is transient. Additionally, no improvement in mortality or recurrence have been reported in patients on these drugs. The aim of this review is to elucidate on the iatrogenic causes of TCM, allowing for prompt recognition and management by clinicians.
