Myocardial Infarction Presenting as Both Left Ventricular Aneurysm and Ventricular Septal Defect.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2024. 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 can result in various mechanical complications, although they have become rare with the advent of reperfusion therapies. Among these complications, ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) are infrequent but life-threatening conditions associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present a rare case of a 67-year-old male with acute myocardial infarction who developed concomitant apical LVA and ventricular septal rupture. LEARNING POINTS: Mechanical complications of myocardial infarction, such as a ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and left ventricular aneurysm (LVA), are rare but life-threatening.Early diagnosis is critical. A ventricular septal defect (VSD) requires immediate surgical closure, while surgery for LVA is only considered in specific cases such as chest pain or thromboembolism.Diagnostic tools such as echocardiography and left ventriculography play a vital role in identifying and characterising these complications, enabling timely treatment decisions.
