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

We present a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) in a young woman who has developed necrosis and perforation of the sigmoid intestine with a spontaneous opening of the abscess in the abdominal cavity, which caused purulent peritonitis. The patient underwent emergency surgical intervention. The postoperative period was complicated by a clinic of acute respiratory failure and bilateral pneumonia. In five days after surgery, the patient developed laboratory and instrumental signs of acute myocardial infarction. Changes similar to myocardial infarction appeared on electrocardiogram (ECG). Echocardiography revealed akinesis of the apical segments of the left ventricle and the ejection fraction of the left ventricle was reduced (LVEF) from 63 to 31%-35%. The level of NT-proBNP has increased significantly, but the level of troponin I increased to a lesser extent. Coronary angiography demonstrated normal arteries without any obstruction. As a result, a diagnosis Takotsubo cardiomyopathy caused by acute surgical pathology was made. In the future, the patient was discharged in a stable state. Subsequent echocardiography showed normalization of the systolic function of the left ventricle, the disappearance of ECG changes, and a decrease in the level of specific cardiomarkers.
