A Rent in the Left Ventricle: A Sea-Saw Between Life and Death.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Penetrating injuries to the precordium are life-threatening and require early detection and immediate intervention. We present a case of penetrating cardiac injury who presented with a definitive airway and hemodynamically unstable. During the primary survey, the patient had a cardiac arrest with pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The patient was resuscitated as per advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and advanced trauma life support (ATLS) guidelines with manual digital compression at the penetrating site leading to a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). After ROSC, he was shifted for emergency explorative median sternotomy. During the sternotomy, we found a clotted rent in the anterior wall of the left ventricle, which was repaired. Aggressive resuscitation and appropriate management strategy in the emergency department (ED) resulted in a successful outcome, and he was discharged after 10 days of hospital stay. Our case highlights the importance of early diagnosing and managing penetrating cardiac trauma.
