A Perfect Storm: Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest Due to Acute Myocardial Infarction Seen in the Postpartum Period in the Setting of COVID.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in women of reproductive age is uncommon; however, the risk of AMI increases four to five-fold during pregnancy as compared to non-pregnant women of similar age. In the period following childbirth, the incidence of AMI is often attributed to a range of factors. These factors encompass coronary vessel dissection related to atherosclerosis, thrombosis, coronary spasm, and, in rare cases, takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The physiological alterations that accompany pregnancy induce a state of heightened coagulation, thereby elevating the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in women. While the presence of traditional risk factors is not a strong predictor of post-partum AMI (PAMI) due to any cause, most cases of PAMI due to IHD or atherosclerosis have other mechanisms associated with AMI, significant past medical history, or the presence of other traditional risk factors. The purpose of this report is to describe an uncommon case of pregnancy associated with MI due to ischemic heart disease and discuss the pathogenesis of contributing risk factors that created the "perfect storm" leading to her presentation.
