Post-Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Mechanical Circulatory Support as a Bridge to Definitive Therapy During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a devastating complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and is often associated with cardiogenic shock. Although considered to be very rare in the reperfusion era, recent reports have demonstrated an increased frequency of post-MI VSR cases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite advances in surgical repair and management strategies over the past decades, mortality rate has remained high, especially in hemodynamically unstable patients. In VSR patients with cardiogenic shock, the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) could be used as a bridge to surgical intervention. We report a patient with VSR complicated by cardiogenic shock secondary to late presenting MI, managed successfully with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a bridge to surgical intervention.
