Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: An unexpected finding.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers.
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
A left ventricle pseudoaneurysm (LV PSA) is defined as a free wall rupture of the left ventricle contained by the adjacent pericardial tissue. This rare complication is most commonly encountered following myocardial infarction, trauma, or infection. Surgery is typically warranted to avoid progression to spontaneous rupture, which may potentially lead to cardiac tamponade and death. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice to characterize left ventricle morphology and function. Accurate distinction between a pseudoaneurysm and a true aneurysm is crucial, since management and prognosis are significantly different between these 2 entities. We present a case of a 63-year-old male heart transplant recipient, admitted for suspicion of acute cellular rejection, with an unexpected finding of a LV PSA.
