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 describe the case of a 48-year-old patient who presented with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Left ventriculography performed during the initial coronary angiography revealed the presence of structural abnormalities in the myocardial wall which subsequently, with the use of contrast echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, were confirmed to represent ventricular clefts. We reviewed the pathophysiological significance of these defects and compared them with similarly looking abnormalities such as aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, and diverticula. In conclusion, recognition of ventricular clefts is needed to allow clinicians to differentiate them from other myocardial wall defects with different pathological profile and clinical significance.
