Ventricular apical wall rupture and ventricular aneurysm formation concurrent with ventricular septal dissection and rupture due to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a case report.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. 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
The most common mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction include free-wall rupture, ventricular septal rupture (VSR), papillary muscle rupture and pseudoaneurysm. It is rare for a patient to experience more than one mechanical complication simultaneously. Here, we present a case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated with three mechanical complications, including ventricular apical wall rupture, ventricular aneurysm formation and ventricular septal dissection (VSD) with VSR. Cardiac auscultation revealed rhythmic S1 and S2 with a grade 3 holosystolic murmur at the left sternal border. Electrocardiogram indicated anterior ventricular STEMI. Serological tests showed a significant elevated troponin I. Bedside echocardiography revealed ventricular apical wall rupture, apical left ventricle aneurysm and VSD with VSR near the apex. This case demonstrates that several rare mechanical complications can occur simultaneously secondary to STEMI and highlights the importance of bedside echocardiography in the early diagnosis of mechanical complications.
