Review in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) have significantly improved with advances in early reperfusion strategies; however, patients with massive infarcts or those who do not receive timely revascularization may develop mechanical complications of AMI. The most common mechanical complications are ventricular septal rupture (VSR), acute mitral regurgitation (MR) due to papillary muscle rupture, and free-wall rupture. Each complication is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality, and requires a multidisciplinary approach for prompt diagnosis and hemodynamic stabilization. Surgery is the mainstay of therapy but is associated with poor outcomes if performed too early during the treatment course for VSR or if performed too late with MR and free wall rupture. Optimal timing for surgery in combination with temporary circulatory support may be a feasible strategy for better results.
