Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Following Emergency Cesarean Section: A Rare Peripartum Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or transient left ventricular ballooning, presents with suspicion of an acute myocardial infarction characterized by temporary apical or midventricular dyskinesia of the left ventricle, despite normal findings on coronary angiography. This temporary cardiac condition is frequently triggered by episodes of emotional or physical stress. We present an unusual case of TCM occurring immediately after an emergency cesarean section in a 41-year-old woman diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The patient experienced acute respiratory distress and chest discomfort soon after being extubated, necessitating reintubation and intensive care unit management. Electrocardiogram showed nonspecific ST-T changes and mild ST elevation in V1-V2, and echocardiogram results indicated apical and midventricular akinesia along with a decreased ejection fraction, consistent with TCM diagnosis. A subsequent coronary angiography displayed normal coronary arteries. The patient was treated conservatively with supportive measures and cardiac medications. This case report underscores the importance of identifying stress-induced cardiomyopathy during the peripartum period, particularly following high-stress obstetric procedures.
