Long-term survival after a massive left ventricular infarction evidenced by FDG-PET and leaving intact only the septal wall.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2013. 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
There is evidence that survival remains possible for infarction greater than 50% of the left ventricle in human, as well as in the rat infarct model. To our knowledge, survival has not been documented for infarctions involving the anterior, inferior and lateral wall leaving intact only the septal wall. An adult rat underwent a ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. ECG-triggered (18)F-ffluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography revealed that 72% of the left ventricle was necrotic and totally akinetic. Although the left ventricular ejection fraction was severely impaired (9%), this rat survived and was asymptomatic after 2 months. The exact reasons for this incredible survival are still unclear.
